Not sure what to say?

I met Rob at The Forty-Niner Times at UNCC. He was a pro and helped me with my first attempts as a cartoonist which set a course for my life. I guess any of our moments can have a profound effect on others. I never saw Rob after those times, but knew his story through others and always thought of him when I heard a Bloomberg story. I wish love and peace for his family.

I'm so sorry for your loss, Sasha and Katya. Your grandmother Daisy and grandfather Al were my best friends when they lived in Charlotte. Your dad and his mother were oh so close and I was with Rob and Al when she passed. I miss them all. My prayers are with you.

My sincere condolences, Laura, and the rest of Rob´s family. Rob stuck his neck out for me during a difficult professional time. It took guts! Bittersweet to learn about the rest of his life; I love the "love" quote at the end!
