On this anniversary of Robs passing a flood of memories rush in. Our lunchtime card games with Cassise, Potter, Cox, etc. Hoodwinking me into specializing in MOVs, but maybe you knew how it would define my entire career - thank you for that! Above all you are remembered for being such a good friend and mentor as well as showing all of us a shining example of how to be a good husband.

Nancy. I am so sorry...I misread the visitation information, I thought it was today, I'm sorry I missed it. God bless you and your wonderful family.

I'm just downtown Plymouth, if I can help in any way.

I am very sorry to hear about Rob. I worked with him at DTE for several years. I enjoyed his company and I will miss him. The last time I recall seeing him was at Grandparents Day at a grade School. Our Grandchildren were in the same school. We were also friends on Facebook. I always enjoyed talking and working with Rob. RIP my friend.

Dear Nancy and family, my heart is heavy for all of you. I have so many fond memories of Rob. Going back to High school when we were in Bel Canto together. Always had an encouraging word. Even after meeting again at our forty year reunion Rob was such a gentleman. May you receive comfort in the coming days and keep him close.

Growing up with Shelly, Melanie and Robbie means I've known Rob since I was a little boy. Back then I always thought he was so cool. As I grew older I recognized him as a man of high caliber. My favorite memory of him was at Melanie's wedding during his excellent speech when he welcomed Gil into the family as a member of "Our Tribe". I just thought that was an awesome statement and will admit I've borrowed it numerous times over the years with friends, boyfriends and girlfriends of my three step children. You guys are laying so heavy on my heart right now. I've always thought of you two as my sisters and you as my little brother. I pray so much for God to strengthen, help you and uphold you and your Mom through all this. Love Mike
