Goodbye, sweet Daddy Rob. You were my favorite teacher of all time. I will always cherish all our chats over the last decade. You imparted so much wisdom to me that went beyond physics. You saw that sad, nervous teenager in Pre-AP physics class crying over a confusing assignment and offered her tissues and encouraged her to work hard and shine, despite the despair.

I was one of Mr. Robs many students and I just wanted to say how much of a blessing he was to so many of us in our formative years. I was never the best at Physics but he always made the time and put in the effort to help me understand. He also would help in other areas if he could. The light this world lost with his passing is immense, but the amount of sparks he ingnighted in his many students will burn bright for many years to come. PS I bet he's growing his train collection up there.

I worked with Rob at Hallsville, and he taught my son Walker Wells. Rob was a precious person who truly connected with Walker and saw potential in him. I will be forever grateful! Blessings of peace and comfort, and please know the good Rob poured into his students is forever.
