Family photo … Hollywood Walk of Fame 2008
Actor Tim Robbins suffered a double loss within the span of 12 days. His father Gil Robbins died of prostate cancer on April 5, and his mother Mary Robbins died on Sunday as a result of a sudden heart arrhythmia.
Tim’s father, 80, succumbed to prostate cancer. His mother, 78, died unexpectedly at her home in Esteban Cantu, Mexico on April 17.
The couple, married 59 years, were professional musicians in the 50s and 60s. Gil was a member of the folk band the Highwaymen. They are survived by four children and four grandchildren.
Tim Robbins had a twenty-year relationship with actress Susan Sarandon, that ended in 2009. The couple met on the set of Bull Durham and began a non-marital partnership that produced two sons: Jack, 21, and Miles, 18.
The actor described his father as “very charming, open and funny. He had a real strong moral center; he spoke up for what he believed in.”
Tim said his mother “had a calm and cheerful demeanor, a sharp wit, a gentle spirit and a generous and loving heart.”
