Not sure what to say?

Rob was an individual I will never forget. His dedication and determination at work were impressive. We met at the restaurant and he later became a customer at my work where we had hours and hours of discussion on the struggles of owning a small business. Watching him make changes and guide a restaurant through a pandemic was inspiring. He became a role mode and I looked up to him very much. Rest In Peace Rob you will be missed dearly by everyone who ever got to know you.

I only knew Rob through mutual friends but I remember him as being wonderfully kind, easy going and so friendly. I remember him playing games with the children at a party and engaging with them as if he were 'one of the kids'. Incredibly tragic loss. Prayers of comfort and peace to his grieving family.

I was just thinking about Rob last Saturday morning. I told my wife I was going to call him up out of the blue and saw howdy. We hadn’t spoken in many years, but I know he would have loved that phone call. I worked with Rob at Chili’s many years ago. He was so good at his job, even way back then. We had a lot of fun working side by side. Customers loved Rob, he made everyone feel at home.
You will be missed, sir. You should have gotten the chance to retire on the beach. My love...

Rob was so good at his job. He would treat us a friends when we would visit Cazzy's Corner Grill. He shared life stories, aspirations and welcomed us with open arms.

Meri and Family, I am so sorry about the loss of Rob. I remember riding the school bus with him in middle and high school. Meri was the 1st school friend I made when my family moved to Knoxville in 1982. My heart and prayers go out to your family for healing and strength during this time. Kim Wheeler, Knoxville Tennessee
