Not sure what to say?

Some of my earliest memories are of Rob. Like when he knocked my two front teeth out with a Tonka truck when he was two and I was four. Or when his family came to Wyoming to visit after we moved from Ohio and he helped me on my paper route when he was five and I was seven. I can never thank him enough for helping to care for my mother, when I couldn't, the last sixteen years of her life with many handyman needs. He helped her to live out her life where she wanted to be, next to his mom. The...

What a tremendous loss. Rob not only was our go to contractor, he became a dear family friend. He was always so kind and he will be missed.
Our sincere condolences to the family.

I have shed quite a few tears and my heart and soul literally ache for Rob's family over this tremendous loss. Knowing God must have had a reason He wanted Rob back home doesn't seem to lessen the pain. But I imagine Heaven is rejoicing in his return, and the thought of that makes me smile. You have my deepest condolences and sympathy. My thoughts and prayers are, and will be, with you always.

Rob has always been a great guy since we were kids. He was older than us but he hung out with Dave, Tom and I and took us places like cruising the Dairy Queen, so long as we drove one direction past it so no one could see the smoke from the mustangs six when it was still fairly new! The Augusta community has lost a great asset . He definitely helped my Dad and Mom out several times . Condolences to Debbie and family , Dave and Rick.

A person of strength, love and faith. I have a vivid childhood memory of him. Listening to “Crimson &Clover” literally ‘over and over’. It still makes me laugh. My heart is filled with sadness. My prayers are with Debbie, Jennifer & Justin. May peace be with you.

So sorry for your loss .Rob was a good guy. Always happy to load his truck with material for his next job at MBS.

Sorry to hear my childhood friend is gone. I have nothing but fond memories of him. Rest in peace Rob.

Our deepest sympathy to the family of Rob and all who loved him.
We are sorry to hear of his passing.
Augusta neighbors, Gary and Elsie Leatherberry

We are so sorry to learn of Robs passing. May he rest in eternal peace.
