To Rob; I am sitting here trying to figure out what to say. I thought things would get easier knowing we will never hangout again but I have been looking at life the wrong way. The times we had together outweighed how much I miss hanging out with you. It makes me much happier to continue to think about how much fun we had, rather than how much I want to see you again. I had so much fun being your friend for the last 3 years. You will always be on my mind. BTW your friends and family are amazing! Yall were know to me and my wife as the Tennessee boys; well now we know the Tennessee family and love them all! Thanks Rob for bringing Birmingham to Tennessee! :)

Rob and I were classmates at Riverdale. My heart goes out to the family. Rob was a bright sole! It was always a pleasure to be in the same class as him. He always had a smile that would change the atmosphere in the room! God Bless all of his family and help them through this tragic time! Sending my prayers and love.
