Our first year without you was like a fog covering over our lives. This second year brought a clearing as reality set in. As we walk about our lives we are grateful for all the years of laughter and love, and for the experiences we shared. We miss you so much each day and will strive to remember with joy the times we had and to preserve those memories in our hearts forever. Our time together was a blessing.
Love Barb, Jessica & Tom Thein

When my dad passed away, Rob looked out for me as one of his own. He and my dad weren't just neighbors, but great friends and were bonded by their love of Harley's and fixing things. I only hope, Barb, I can be there for you now as you and Rob were there for me ... I love you and look forward to seeing you very soon. I can hear both my daddy and Rob holding up their drinks, laughing and saying "It's 5 o'clock somewhere". You're in my heart, Barb. Please call anytime.
All my love,
Ellen Johnson Price

Dear Barb, Jess and Tommy, We are so sorry to hear of Rob's passing. He was an amazing man and dad! He touched so many people's lives, as he did ours, with Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts. We will cherish all the wonderful times we shared with Rob and Tommy. Troop 138 has sent 10 Eagle Scouts out into the community and Rob was our first Scoutmaster for the troop! Please know you are in our prayers.

I work with the wounded, ill and injured soldiers who are provided services in the Soldier and Family Assistance Center(SFAC)at Fort Eustis. Rob and Joe were the first two members of the American Legion Riders group I met. From the onset we became friends due to his commitment to and respect of soldiers and the improvement of their quality of life. He earned the respect and gratitude of our wounded warriors by his generous and humble spirit. He was instrumental in raising several thousand dollars to assist those warriors in need especially during the Christmas Season. It is with a heavy heart that I provide these words as he was my friend and a true Southern gentleman. May God hold Barb, his children and other family members in his healing arms.

20 years ago, Rob was the successful business owner of Gloucester Scale Hobbies. Many of us shared great and fun memories with Rob. Rob sold this business which thrived under another name until 2008. From this business, a group of slot car racers still compete today as a family in memory of Rob L. Thein and Dennis Henry Jamerson, Sr. both of whom we lost this week. Thank you Rob, for touching so many lives.
