Wife & mother of three children[edit]

In light of how most biographical Wikipedia articles are written, it's peculiar that in the Personal section nothing more in said about Dominique Bourgeois, Robbie's first wife and mother of three of his children. As he explained in Testament, she was French Canadian from Quebec, they met in France, and she was an aficionado of poetry. Also, I believe she was some sort of counsellor or psychotherapist in her professional life.

As well, although Robbie's marriage date with Dominique is given in the Personal section, after that Robbie's marriage to his current wife is the next item — but no divorce year from wife number one. I'm pretty sure Robbie is not a bigamist.Joel Russ (talk) 15:55, 21 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Cause of death[edit]
