Not sure what to say?

I was so sad to hear this news today - you always were able to bring a smile to my face and cheer me up. Your energy could brighten up any room and everyone wanted to be your friend. You will be missed friend, and not forgotten. Cabbage.

I am deeply saddened to hear about the passing of Rob, at such a young age, such a great lose.
Rob left me so many childhood memories. He was so different, so cool, so unique. His family was so caring and kind. They welcomed me into their beautiful, warm home, and offered me so many memories of growing up as a kid.

Dear Dan and family, we are very sorry to hear of Robert’s passing. Many fond memories of Rob at our home having breakfast with the boys. We kidded him that that he held the record for pancakes at one sitting. Rob and Paul were good friends and it was always a pleasure to have them together. We pray that your family will find comfort in knowing that Rob was a fine man and that your pain will lessen with the coming days. We will miss him. God bless you and your family.

We reconnected after many years, we were doubles partners in tennis at Quincy Tennis Club when we were kids in the seventies. We supported each other on LinkedIn. He started it by liking and sharing anything I posted. I was happy to return the favor. We talked about playing tennis again. The last message I got from him was very typical of Rob. A congratulations and a kind compliment. He sent it to me Friday last week. My condolences to the family, Rob was a real good friend and I am truly...

He was a wonderful man, funny and thoughtful. We were lucky to have him in our family. He will be missed.
