He regularly visited kids in the UCSF hospital. My son got his visit at Christmas time 2005 - ghostly sick in the ICU after surgery. Only Robin could get away with his words to me in a Popeye voice after wishing my son Merry Christmas - "Not much of a talker, is he?" Five days later my son was back at it playing again - until getting his stem cell transplant a few months later.
