My condolences to the family. Rob fit right in with IATSE 927's Brother and Sisterhood! He had many skills, but one of them was a rare one. He could boost morale in the toughest and darkness times with his goofy and funny ways. I won't forget the laughs we shared. You will be miss my brother! Rest in Paradise!

Rob was a good friend of mine. In the early high school years we played football together and would spend our time discussing our desires to join the military. In the late high school years we were both Deadheads who hung out together. We each ended up in the military on our separate journeys but would periodically reunite to laugh at our juvenile blunders and trade war stories.
The news of Rob's departure from this world has troubled me deeply on many levels, as a friend, as a fellow human, and as a brother-in-arms.
My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends.
