To Eileen and her wonderful family -
Dan, Mark and I are so saddened to hear of Rob's passing. We all know he's in a better place now, but nevertheless is gone from us way too soon. We'll always remember Rob's quiet and pleasant presence, as he would sit back, smile, and take in all the sights and sounds around him. My "birthday buddy" will be sorely missed! We love you and are here for you.
