Debbie, I'm so sorry to just see this. I was at work, out on the road and I saw a man in a wheelchair that looked identical to Rob. I was do happy and pulled over. I talked to him for a minute before I realized it wasn't Rob. He looked THAT much like Rob, it was shocking.

So many good memories of Rob, and Rob and you. He always made me laugh. He was offensive in the funniest ways. OMG Id laugh till I cried! I loved him. We all loved him. I'm sorry I missed his service. I do hope you're doing okay, Deb.

Our deepest sympathies to Deb and family. Rob was one of the first "characters" I met at the post office. He made worklife fun and interesting. Both Art and I are very sad to hear of his passing.
