Robbie,
I still can't believe you're gone. There isn't a day that goes by that I haven't told you I love you and that you were not just my brother but my best friend.

he always had a smile on his face.

hudson family, Iam so sorry to hear of Rob's passing.I hope time will heal your pain.My thoughts and prayers are with you. although i haven't seen rob in many years he had a big impact on my life. I met rob in 7th grade and we became great friends. i have so many great memories of those days.rob's house was like my second home and rose like my second mom. for about three years we were inseperatble. i basically had my own bed there. rob is the one who turned me on to led zeppelin. i remember rocking out to led zep bootleg albums up in his room. i grew to like zeppelin so much i tatooed them on my arm. the one thing that i remember the most is something that rob gave me way back then. my nickname.Rob started calling me moose in seventh grade and it stuck. every time someone calls my name i can thank rob for that. he had a positive effect on every one he met, thats just the kinda guy he was. i will always remember my friend rob, as im sure everyone will.again i an very sorry for your loss. his time was to short on this earth.

I am so sorry to hear of Rob's passing.

Rob had a quiet confidence that was equally matched with a keen sense of humor and will be sorely missed.

My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Sending my sincere sympathies on this untimely and unfair loss. Rob always made me feel like an honorary little sister and was a great friend and fishing buddy to my brothers. It brings me peace to know he and Kevin are together again, no doubt catching up and passing the puck around. May they watch over us until we can all be together again.

Mr and Mrs Hudson, Debbie, Lisa and family:

Words cannot express the sadness I feel related to the passing of Rob. He had such a unique way of making people laugh. His humor along with everything else about him will be missed. Just sitting around after softball laughing over a couple of beers were some of the most simple and enjoyable times. Kenny would fill me in on his visits with Rob and the progress he was making. We were all blessed for having him in our lives for the last 43 years.
My sincere sympathies are with you all and will have you in my thoughts and prayers.
