susantaylor40 Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing away of John Robins, former member and corps director of KW Flying Dutchmen, director and member of the board of directors of Dutch Boys, and a historical part of Canadian Drum Corps. John, a big bear of a man with a heart of gold, helped guide literally thousands of young people in the KW area to follow their musical dreams... he was an instuctor, mentor, friend , and big brother to all who passed his way. His children were the members of his corps from the 50s right up to present day. To those who wish to say farewell to John, please contact myself, or ODBC for information on the service. Sleep well my friend... you have truly earned it. The angels will be learning to play some wicked jazz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
