Nella, Andrew and Justin, our prayers are with you in your sorrow and hope you will be strong knowing that God has a better plan for Rob. I just got word today about this tragedy and perhaps you'll find some comfort and strength knowing that people are talking about Rob and reminding others of Rob's importance in our lives. I cannot imagine your life without your best friend.
Rob and I spoke every now and then and we'd compare notes about sons in college. I know his bond with you and the boys was solid and that you were always first in his life. Beyond that, he never forgot others, and me in particular. I will forever be grateful for his friendship, loyalty, help and encouragement.

I was truly caught off guard by Chris's email about Rob's passing. I really enjoyed knowing Rob during our tme at TCU. Rob was well liked by all and didn't know anyone but a friend. My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

Dear Ivie Family,
I was very shocked and saddened to hear the news of Rob's passing from Howard Block. I worked in sales under Rob at NAHP. I worked in Houston while he was in Buffalo. (and I moved to Houston b/c Rob convinced me it was the best place on earth.) I want you to know how much he loved you all. He talked about his wife and boys all the time- not to mention his love for Houston, TX. My sincere condolences to you.

Nella,
There will come a time to celebrate the fact that Rob is now sitting in Heaven next to our Savior. He is suffering no longer and at this very moment, looking down on you and the boys. He wishes he was there but knows that someday, you will be together again.
You and Rob hold a very special place in my heart and I promise never to forget.
Your old friend, Steve Becker

Nella, Andrew & Justin,
It has taken me a couple of days to get my thoughts together after the shock I experienced when I heard the news of Rob's passing. I had the pleasure of knowing Rob for almost 20 years and consider him a very close friend and one of the finest individuals I have known. He will always be in my mind as will you guys. He lived life to its fullest and made positive memories with everyone who knew him.

Nella and boys. My heart is breaking for your family. I am overcome with the loss of your wonderful husband and father. Rob and I worked very closely together at North American and had numerous conversations about how much he loved all of you. I spoke with him just last week and we talked about all of you and how GREAT you are. I pray for your healing and for his spirit to fill your heart and guide you.

We were deeply sadden to hear of Rob's passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire Ivie family.
Although I was not a Lamda Chi, nor did I attend TCU, I met Rob through his fraternity brothers. I now know why they refer to each other as "brothers". The emotion I feel as I write this note is as if a family member and brother passed.
Rob always made me feel welcome at whatever function (code word for a gahtering of Lamda Chi/TCU friends and family with food and adult beverages) and asked how "I" was and what "my" family was up to. It wasn't about him, he made me feel as though it was all about me. He east-going and warm nature will be missed.

Rob was a terrific colleague and a real friend. We developed a great bond working together at an important and exciting time in our careers. We shared a lot of laughs and many memorable times together, and I was shocked and deeply saddened to hear of his passing. I want to extend my deepest sympathies to Nella and the boys. We've lost a friend with a smile that I will never forget. He always made my day brighter with his positive outlook and zest for life. This news makes me miss my friends in Texas very much. God's speed, Rob.
