Mr. & Mrs. Pride, I am so very sorry to learn about Rob's recent passing. I didn't have the opportunity to know him long or even very well, but I do know that he had a good heart and loved his son very much. I'm sure that his soul is at peace now and he is living with the angels above. I am grateful that you will always have Che to love and cherish and that Rob's memory will live on thru him.

Bob and Pat,

I am so saddened to hear of Rob's sudden passing. He and I use to play together as kids, but as what usually happens we grew up and parted ways. I will always remember "Chip" and the innocence of those days.

My deepest condolences to you and your family. May Rob's spirit live on in Ché and may you find peace during this time of grief.

Love,
Jacquie

Bob, Pat, Kevin, Ché and the rest of your family,
It truly saddens me to know Rob is no longer physically with us; this is a tragedy, especially in the wake of Keith's passing. My condolences to you all.

Living next to one another in VB as kids still holds very special memories for me. Rob or as I knew him, "Chip", was a good friend for many years and I too have many fond memories that bring me joy; hold on to those memories of his life. He is missed by many.

Dear Rob,

I know that you are with us more than ever now. Please be friends with Alaina who died on Monday... It is a sad story. If you get to "meet up with her" you will see that she is such a beautiful spirit : ) as are you. I love your laugh, it was always real. I will keep your son and all of your family in my prayers because I know they are missing them some Rob right now. Much love and respect Rob
