Mary and your family:
I remember Rob as uplifting and supportive to all he met. He was a dedicated runner and a joy to be around. Mary, I am so sorry you and your family have lost a great husband and father too soon. Many happenings in life don't seem fair, but I am sure God has a plan for Rob and He will help comfort you. I will continue to think and pray for you and your family.

Magin and Kuta families,

I really enjoyed working with and knowing Rob. He was very good at what he did, whether it was running or PeopleSoft and accounting. He also had great character, which reflects upon his relationship with Christ. May your relationship with Jesus bring you comfort and hope.
