To the family and relatives of Rob,

I had the pleasure of meeting Rob recently and getting to know him during his visits at our office. He was always very personable and a pleasure to work with. It is very unfortunate to hear of his untimely death. I pray that God will bring you the strength you need and give you comfort knowing that he is at peace.
