Read MoreI've known Rob for 20 years now. Thinking back over that time, I'm amazed how many of my strongest memories include him somehow. From being young, wanna-be writers trying to find a voice, and moving onto the greater challenges of being men with families and
trying to find a place in the world.
You are greatly missed buddy...

Dear Chuck and Bobbi - Lisa and I were so saddened to hear of the loss of your son Rob. You have been, and will continue to be in our prayers. Take hope in what our Lord tells us (through Paul) in Romans 8:24-39. We are HIS own, and our hope is that we will be together again with HIM.
