'Gus' Robbins, UDF executive
August C. "Gus" Robbins, one of United Dairy Farmers' first employees, died of cancer Tuesday at his Amberley Village home. He was 76.
"His work was his hobby," said his wife of 55 years, Florence Beischel Robbins. "He just loved it there. He worked seven days a week for years and years."
Mr. Robbins, who served as UDF's vice president of production from the early 1940s until his 1977 retirement, was a childhood friend of Carl Lindner and his family, founders of UDF.
"Gus's contributions in the early days, during the war, were very important to getting the company started," said Robert Lindner Sr.
He never had children of his own, but many UDF employees looked to him as a father figure, Mrs. Robbins said.
"Gus was like a dad to them," she said. Many of the men who worked at the dairy would stop by the business on their way home from the hospital with their wives and new babies to show Gus the new arrivals, she said.
"He didn't need a calculator to add," Mrs. Robbins added. "He had a computer mind. He was just a super guy."
