I met Rob in 1997 and we became friends instantly. We had many great times together with our families, our friends and sometimes just the two of us. But Rob and I shared one passion that we that will be my greatest memory, our love for Drag Racing! It was tradition for us, 20 years of the Gatornationals not to forget the trip to Pomona California though...the Ultimate road trip! We’ll keep the tradition going buddy, you will be greatly missed. Oh, and I’ll pick you up a gray t-shirt!

I knew Rob from Dunedin High and was very shocked to hear of his passing. He always attended the Pub Crawls and continually joked around with everybody. The "flat top" was always well groomed and ready for a landing...not sure of what but of something... as we would always joke. Condolences to his family...he will be missed .

Rob you have left many sad people. However, knowing you are no longer living in pain, fear or sadness makes that easier to take. I know God will take care of you and keep you in his arms and hold you tight kind of like Geri , John ,Sandy ,and mdid for your last breath. Not something that can never be forgotten. Do not worry we will make sure Baxter is fed the pool is filled and all the other things you took care of every single day will get done. We will miss you. We love you.
