Not sure what to say?

Robin so sorry to hear of your loss or as we pilots say "Bob has Gone West." We were in the same Navy pre flight class where he was a star. Then he was a hero for pulling a fellow student pilot from a burning aircraft. I will always remember our trip to your farm. Hope to make the trip again.

Robin and Lynette, So sorry for your loss. Rob was a great guy and one of a kind. I remember going to the ranch when the huge barn was under construction to give him a load of concrete blocks for a retaining wall. I asked him if I could unload it. He politely said no and told me he was committed to building the whole thing with his own two hands and without help of any kind. All the best, The MacConaghy- Barnier family

Robin & Family, So sorry to hear about Rob. Always the highlight of my day when our paths crossed. Truly a great man and so enjoyable to be around. He will be missed. So sad. Larry Woodall USN-WAL-DAL

Robin and family, I am so sorry to hear of Rob's passing. I never flew with Rob at Western or Delta Airlines, but have had very interesting conversations with him over the years. He was truly a gentleman. I have made a donation to Lyon rescue ranch in Rob's honor. Jeff Greenwood, Captain retired WAL/DAL

I am sorry for your loss; I flew with Bob for Western Airlines in Los Angles. As with most of the WAL group we enjoyed his company. He was a credit to his Nation and the Airlines. Mike Stainner Capt. Retired
