Robin RIVE Obituary

It was with great sadness that I read that Robin had passed away. I had the pleasure of working for Robin and Bryan for 20 amazing years. Robin´s innovative designs and artistic creations were sent worldwide. Her bears, soft souvenirs and cute puppets are cherished throughout the world. My condolences and love go out to Bryan, Pete, Jackie and Brigitte and their families. What an amazing legacy she has left you all.

To Brigitte and Family...my deepest condolences to you and the Family, very sad to hear about the passing of Robin, sending lots of TE AROHA to you and the Family...

To Bryan and family,all take care.I grew up in GI and remember our local chemist and his delightful outgoing Robin...

My deepest condolences. Robin embraced ceramics with enthusiasm and passion and embraced the pottery community with that same joy and generosity of spirit.

Friends are the Best Collectables.

Bryan, you and Robin were an important part of our lives for many years. Our mum Lesley Greenaway adored you both. I still think of you often. Much love.

It was with such sadness dear Bryan & Peter, that I read today of Robin's passing. Although it has been many years since we have all seen each other, I remember such lovely times when Peter was a little boy with his sister Nicola, when you lived near my Mother, Kitty Martin, at Maxine Place. I used to tell them along with my son Beau, stories of Peter's "magic toe", prior to our departure for USA.
Many years later returning from South Africa, I re-met Robin who shared a lovely day with us in Cleavedon and then another in your current beautiful Japanese home. Robin was such a talented, hard working lass, way back from the days of living over your chemist shop Bryan and I send you especially and all the family my loving thoughts at this sad time.

Sincere condolences to Bryan and family. My mother Norma, worked for Bryan and Robin in the GI pharmacy many years ago. I remember her puppets as a small child, possibly named RobbityBob. We had a meal at the family home one winters night and I recall the fire being fed with wooden shoe heels from her shoe business, assume they were seconds. She was very kind to my late mother. Rest in Love, a life well lived.

Remembered for your wonderful bears.
