Robie passed away on Thursday, August 11, 2016, surrounded by his family.

Robie was born in Wilmington to the late Robley F. and Rosemarie (Montana) Hession. He was a 1968 DeLaWarr High School graduate. Robie was employed as a carpenter for many years with various construction companies. He was a meticulous craftsman who took great pride in his work.
Robie was a humble and kind man, who would give you the shirt off his back if you were in need. In his youth, he was a phenomenal dancer and appeared on the Jerry Blavat show as Robe-a-Fonic-Robie.

Robie is survived by his sisters, Sharon (Jim) Lisi, Gail (Eddie) Arijon, and Eileen (Steven) Hession-Smith; his brother, Michael Hession (Tracie Edstrom). He was the favorite uncle of Tony, Kelly, Sean, Shannon, Veronica, and Chris. He is also survived by several great-nieces and nephews, several loving cousins, and his uncle, William Hession.

Thank you to Seasons Hospice for the compassionate care of Robie in his final days.
