Dear Pam,

I was shocked and deeply saddened by this tragic news.
My boyhood friend Robbie, my adult friend Jake will be terribly missed by all.
Wonderful is an understatement to describe this man.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear Pam,
Words can not express the sorrow that my family is feeling for your loss and the loss of a close family friend. I've known Robby for 35 years. From the first time I met him I knew he was a special person, little did know at that time we would become as close as we did.
When my sons were small I remember watching their faces light up when ever he came over to the house, Robbie always had time to play with them (he always referred to them as Messy Mike and Dirty Dan).
Kathy and I looked forward to his stopping by on boat trips. We were able to have few laughs and catch up on what was going on.
I guess I could go on forever. I can only say that Robbie Jacob was my friend and the memories that I have will always be cherished.

Dear Pam, Shelby, Allison and entire family ... I was very sorry to hear of Robbie's recent passing. Brought so many memories back of all our wonderful times growing up in Riverside, CT. I will always remember Robbie as a 'free spirit' of the truest kind.

Dear Pam and the Jacob Family: I was so very sorry to learn of the death of Robbie. I knew Robbie growing up through my cousin (Tim Palmer.) Robbie was always around my uncle and aunt's house. He loved the water and I always remember the story of how he swam across the cove from Willomere to Tod's Point. He was a wonderful, warm, and friendly guy who always had a smile. May memories comfort you at this time.

I was blessed to have had Robby as my cousin for the last 55 years. We enjoyed our early years when family reunions brought us together, but it was in our later years that we established a closer relationship. He was more like a brother to me and was here whenever I needed him. I will miss him always and he will remain in my heart forever. Pami, Jody, Alison and Shelby - You are in my thoughts and my prayers as you grieve over Robby. He was a wonderful man and a free spirit who tried to enjoy life to the fullest. May he rest in peace.
