My deepest sympathy. I have just learned today and will sorely miss the talks and discussions between us that so enhanced my vocabulary. Rob was the greatest debator I had the pleasure to converse with, and the most loyal Celtic fan I know.

Dear Family and Friends,

I will forever see Rob's smiling face and remember his love for Kristin and his girls, Audrey and Nicole. They, most of all, are the evidence of his love and he lives on through them. May we all know that this love never ends for it is "stronger than death." Sleep peacefully, dear brother and friend.

Blessings, prayers, and love,

Rev. Paula (always your sister-in-law)

I will always hold fond memories of times with Rob in school plays, chorus and playing sports, especially basketball. My sincere condolences are extended to Kris, their daughters, Mrs. McRae, David and Andy. We will all cherish our memories of a true "Partisan".

Rob, You say his name and a smile comes to your face. He had a good sense of humor and he so loved his family. He put on a show of how aloof he was but he was very caring behind the facade. His family meant the world to him. His precious little girls were the joy of his life. He couldn't help but smile when he talked about them.

Our prayers and sympathies are with you all. Remember that each memory you have is like a jewel, it needs to be taken out and shared with family and friends. For that will polish it make it more valuable and help it to last forever.
