I am so sorry to hear of your loss. God will bless and keep you strong during this difficult time. You will be in my prayers Mary Fox

I´m Gary Peterson, fellow Navy aviator, squadron-mate in VAQ-130, and roommate on the USS Theodore Roosevelt. Bob was a great friend with a terrific sense of humor. We would joke on the ship as we were going to bed. I said I couldn´t wait to drink coffee in the morning, and he joked he couldn´t wait to get up and drop the ball tomorrow. I loved Bob like a brother. I´d like the family to know the impact he had on me and others. I offer my sincere condolences.

We were deeply saddened to hear of the loss of your beloved husband, Jackie. Our sincere condolences, thoughts and prayers are with you. May he rest in peace.

Jackie ~ The hearts of the Kozelsky Family are with you during this terribly sad time.

Rob was a fellow classmate, friend and great aviator. Cannot begin to emphasize how much he will be missed.

Our prayers and condolences to Rob´s wife Jackie, sisters Sally and Susan including other family members & friends. A light went out on the earth March 4th with Rob´s passing but is shining ever so brightly in heaven. Bill & Diane

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.robert was the awesome
