After high school, he married Rene’ Campbell on March 4, 1994 in Ponca City. Their marriage was blessed with five children, the apples of his eye. The family business, Nelson Plumbing kept Robbie busy. He later went to work for Conoco before his health forced him into an early retirement. Robbie was an all American down home country boy. His life was full of the good times with his family and friends, the sounds of good music on the radio or his guitar, out hunting, fishing, or giving his time and efforts to others. Robbie was also known for his ornery sense of humor, generosity, and skill on the grill. But above all, his deep love for family and the Lord Jesus Christ were the hallmarks of his character
