Not sure what to say?

I'm so glad Rob finally found a way to follow his bliss and ended his life having spent years directing and performing theatrical productions!! I knew him for many years in Shawano and Green Bay. We had great fun together--in addition to the local theatrical productions, we took disco lessons together, watched the Oscars every year at the store, made innumerable trips in that ancient powder blue van (known as that damn van)--and laughed A LOT. --Dawn (Reinhardt) Mahoney

I was in several shows with Rob and also was in the first one he ever directed. The show was Cactus Flower and he wrote a part for me to sing a cabaret club solo (Star!). We were great friends who loved to sing and dance together--often in his parent's living room.

We went to A Chorus Line together-the first time we each saw it. Enjoyed acting together in A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum and many others!

I've missed since we lost touch many years ago. I...

I will miss my hugs and kisses from Rob, but he will always be in my heart. He had such a way about him, that anyone meeting him found a friend. I pray for you all during this time. Reach out to others to remember how much Rob loved you and how much he was loved. Please get in touch if there is anything I can do. My blessings to you.

What a loss and a void that Robert's death caused...what a wonderful, caring, courageous person! I had the honor of meeting him only in the past few years but mourn his passing greatly! I can truly say that he made me want to be a better person! I know that he cared about his family and friends very much as he spoke of you all often. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with each of you in this difficult time, and that he will never be forgotten!
