You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Remember that no matter how much you hurt now, that pain is a part of the joy that was a part of knowing Rob every day that you and all those who were blessed to know him felt. As you mourn, also give thanks for the life he led, the example he was to everyone, the great friend he was, and the amazing man he was and inspired others to be. We will miss him, but will also be thankful for having known him.

I never got a good chance to thank Rob for all he did for my son. He was so good to all the kids and such a positive person. He was so much fun to be around - Halloween, the races and parties just won't be the same without him. God Bless you, Rob!

So sorry to hear that Rob lost his battle against cancer. I remember Robs mischevious smile and his fun spirit. Even after our high school yrs he always had time to stop and talk whenever we ran into each other. He will be missed by so many. My deepest sympathy to his family and all who loved him.
