Ski Team, "He possessed an encyclopedic knowledge of skiing and ski racers of every discipline that he willingly shared with anyone who asked." Ski jumper Jeff Hastings wrote: "His breath filled the sails of the athletes he covered." Paul Robbins died of a heart attack in 2008, and left his wife of eighteen years, Kathe, behind.
