Kathy I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. It seems like yesterday we all were sitting at the ballpark talking and laughing! Or competing against each other during our girls basketball games! My heart aches for you and the family. I know that Rob was such a huge family man and he will be sorely missed. Prayers that your sadness will lessen over time.

Kathy and family, I am so very sorry for your loss. I first came in contact with Rob when he was a soccer coach with Chelsea at St. Lukes. I always respected Rob with his involvement with his family. I came to know him better when he was working for City of Kettering Recreation and more so while he was coaching the Patriots Girls Basketball program while I was an announcer for Alter's Girls varsity basketball. I was always impressed by Rob's competitive nature but more so for his love of the players he coached and the family he loved so much. Kathy you and your children are in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless You and Rob as he rests in peace with God. Bill Reyer
