Chuck, Jo, Cindy, Sharon, Ric and Rory,

I am saddened by your loss and the loss that each of us feels with Robb's passing. It has been a number of years since I had the pleasure to see and speak with Robb. He was a good man. I could tell he had grown in his soul with his chosen path. I hope that everyone had the opportunity to see the depth of his joy and peace. He was a proud father of his little girl, Chantalle. With God's blessings, we will carry his gentle and smiling nature to keep his spirit living in all of us.

I Love You All,

Bev Allisone and family

Ric and family,

I will miss Robb VERY much. I sat next to him for 2 years. On days when I was blue he found a way to cheer me up in his own special way. The memory of bright spirited Robb will stay with me forever. My deepest sympathies are with you. God Bless!

Ric and Family,

I am so sorry! My deepest sympathy and prayers go out to you and your family. Rob was truely a sincere, loving, caring, happy go lucky, sweetheart. I will miss seeing him everyday sitting directly across from me making silly faces and telling me jokes, always making me smile! I will miss the little game we played every morning, (word of the day), and hearing his stories and thoughts, his laughter, and about how much he loved his daughter and family! I will miss him correcting me every time I was singing a song. (man did he know his music)!!! He will always be in my heart and thoughts! Rob was not just a coworker, he is a part of our extended family!

GOD BLESS ROB

Robb: Can't believe I won't be seeing you when I go to visit in Wire world. You was always one of my special people I stopped to see and visit with and always so nice. It was such a pleasure working with you for so many years. I would ask each time if you was married yet and said you'd better tell me first and you said you would. You seemed so happy. My heart goes out to your daughter, companion and family. I know you loved them so much. I always enjoyed looking at the pictures of you all in your tool box. You was so proud of them.

I will miss you.

Robb:

You will be missed. On behalf of all of us who got to know you here at Boeing, you were a great person to work with. God must really have wanted you with him to take you early; maybe He knew you were the glue that keeps other people together. When its my turn to show up there, I'm looking for the guy in the black leather Civil War hat -you can be my guide.
