Read MoreI worked for, and with, Rob at Universal Periodical Services and then at Newman Group during the 70s, 80s, and 90s. He was a good friend, an excellent boss, and a generous mentor. We worked together, traveled together, argued, laughed. We lost touch as our lives and careers diverged in the 90s. That, as well as his passing, is quite a loss for me. I will always be grateful to him and for him. RIP Rob. --Rob Kantner

I just became aware of Rob's passing. I worked with Rob at Newman Computer and he was one of the kindest, honest, hardworking and compassionate individuals I have ever know. It was a pleasure to have known him and an honor to have worked with him. May you forever rest in peace, Rob.

I am very saddened to hear of Rob's passing. I worked with him for 10 years at the Newman Group and we shared many a long conversation about Michigan football, I really loved coming in Monday morning after a great Michigan win to talk to him. My prayers for your family.

Dear Rob's Family:
My prayers and thoughts are with you and my sincere condolences.
I worked with Rob at the Newman Group for over 30 years. I was one of his first hires. Rob was very smart and worked extremely hard everyday. Rob taught me a lot while working with him and we enjoyed a few scotches or beers on occasion after work. Rob was a friend as well as we had many so called discussions about his Michigan and my Michigan State football teams. Thank you very much Rob. Rest...
