I can´t thank enough this man and his family for helping me achieve a place in this life! I knew nothing about the car business but learnt it at Lincoln Mercury in my early days! I moved up the ranks and found my way eventually with my own success, but I often think of "RVR" probably more than most, everytime I walk in to my dealership! I had so many great times at "Rohrville", and Bob I thank you everyday for the opportunity you and JR gave me! I got to know Ricky well at Indy Honda and had lots of laughs with him and Barrett! Thank you for the ride you gave me!

Bob thanks for giving a Clinton County boy a chance at life! Because of working for your Empire I managed to learn some valuable lessons in life and a great career! My life got a whole lot easier when I started selling cars! Thanks for the honor of working with you, JR, John, Stevie, Rick and others!

May God bless your family at this difficult time in your loss of Bob. Jeff thoroughly enjoyed writing the book with Bob and loved interviewing and meeting with so many family members for the book!! Jeff was so excited to introduce his son, Jade , to Bob, as he was a man Jeff had characterized so often to his son and shared how grand his work ethic was so as to influence his son in the future! Jeff considered Bob one of his dear friends and men of power
to look up to and consider a great
orator, creative entrepreneur, one very successful car dealer and salesman and one very terrific philanthropist and human being!!
Bob will be one greatly missed man on this earth!!! Thanks for sharing him with us!!!

On behalf of my diseased Parents, Paul & Margaret Holladay... My Dad was a West Lafayette Fireman and sold Advertising specialties. He sold Bob business cards giveaway items and the stickers for the back of the cars back when he had one used dealership in the 60s. Bob used to stop by the house and have coffee with my folks all the time when I was younger. I remember hearing my Mom telling Bob one day that she thought it would be cute if he had a Lion on a commercial saying Bob Roooohrrrrman! Bob said yea it would. So in 1970 when he opened the Toyota dealership the Lion made its debut and the rest is history... Dad even worked for Bob back in the day selling cars as well. Thanks Bob for making my Mom's idea a reality! I'm sure they are all having coffee together again now...

Bob and his family really helped me become the person I am today. From believing in me as a person, then as a valued employee, I got my drive and ambition from Bob on daily basis.He mentored me to become a great car dealer. There is hardly a day that goes by that i do not in some way use the tools and the attitude that Bob instilled in me. I am a better person to just have been touched by Bob and I will forever grateful. RIP, RVR.

Bob was the best boss I ever had. Enjoyed my years with him. We were a 2 girl office and it was an experience watching him grow, and grow. He was also a wonderful friend, and mentor. He personally brought me my letter or reccommendation to Phoenix, AZ, was attending a Toyota convention here. Took my family to dinner and we really enjoyed ourselves. Bob was a great person to know and call my friend. He will be missed by so many. JR., Rhonda and Vic, Randy, Shelley, and Rick you have my deepest sympathy. Wish I could be there for the funeral, but with this Covid, traveling is not a good idea. Bob has touched so many, many, lives. Such a great man.

Chief / RVR / Mr. Rohrman, was a great Human hard to believe he's no longer with us. I worked for Bob, as did my other three Brother's, he was by far the hardest working Man I've ever known, and had the full respect of each and everyone of his Employees. His humor was off the charts, as he displayed often, especially with his fellow Dealership Principal Owners. My deepest sincere condolences go out to His Children, Sibling's, Grand Children, Great G/C, and the entire Bob Rohrman Auto Group Team Staff! May you rest in peace & God rest your soul Mr. Rohrman!

To the Rohrman Family, I offer my sincere condolences.
I have so many childhood memories of your Father and Family.
Your Mom and Dad both made me feel at ease whenever I was at your house.
I can also remember going to your Grandparents house with your family.
Although there is now a Rohrman Field at Purdue, we grew up playing Baseball and Football on the original Rohrman Field that was your back yard.
Again to all of you, I offer my sincere condolences.
