A man that can't be summed up into words, his sarcastic quick wittedness always had you second guessing yourself. He was always willing to go out of his way to help in any way he could and if it was cheap labor you were looking for, Rob was your guy, for the low price of a case of beer, you could always rely on him to get the job done. Living life to the fullest, he was the life of the party, you never could predict what he would do but you could always count on it making you laugh. He was never a person to take things too seriously, leaving high expectations for his daughters to carry on his kindhearted sarcastic nature.

A celebration of his memory and 65th birthday is being planned for January 2021, location and date pending due to COVID-19 restrictions. Please contact his family directly with any questions regarding a service.
