Darryl J. Robbins

He was born on March 20,1949, in San Diego, California. He lived part of his earliest years in Australia, where his mother was from, and the remainder of his childhood in San Diego.

He moved to Vermont in 2020, where he lived out his remaining years.

Darryl will be remembered for his love of science, his love of the outdoors, his strong convictions, and his passion for conservation. He will also be fondly remembered by many people who were entertained by him playing harmonica, accompanied by his two beloved dogs: Ebany and Nuva.

He was predeceased by his parents, Leroy and June Robbins. He is survived by his cousin Robert W. Brown, of Mt. Vernon, Ohio, and his friends Melissa Smith of Orleans and the Kevin and Mandy Aubin family of Newport.
