Pop loved fishing, his garden and family. We would find him always interested in something. Never a dull moment around him. You could always find him at Nick’s Seafood helping and chatting.

Pop was funny and outgoing. He was married to his beloved wife, Carmelite Babin, for 50 years. Pop was very good with his hands, jack of all trades, also a great cook. Robert “Bobby” Babin will be missed by his family and friends that he loved. He will never be forgotten.

Falgout Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements.
