Robbie was born April 23, 1943 in Omaha, Neb., the son of Robert M. and Erma S. (Banker) Gill. The family moved to Rawlins in 1945.

Robbie was raised and educated in Rawlins. He attended Rawlins High School, and then joined the United States Navy, serving from 1960-1964.

Coming back to Wyoming, he met Rae MacMillan in Cheyenne, and they married on Sept. 11, 1965. They lived in Butte, Mont., while Robbie worked for Monsanto, but they were soon back in Wyoming. Robbie worked as an electrician for the Sinclair Refinery, Arch Mineral, and Louisiana Pacific.

Upon retirement, they traveled for a while and settled in Wheatland, where Robbie was an active member of the Elk's, VFW and the American Legion. Robbie enjoyed following the Wyoming Cowboys ball teams, being outdoors and hunting.
