Robi’s Great, Great, Great Grandfather owned many shipyards along the river and on Bayou St. John and even had part in the construction of the Civil War submarine on display in the State Museum in Baton Rouge.
After a long career at a major theme park in Orlando, Robi returned to his beloved city in 2012.
