Dear Vicki and kids,
I want to extend our deepest sympathies to all of you, on behalf of Samantha, Alexandra, and myself. Rob's enthusiasm will be missed by all of his basketball family. We were so lucky to have had a chance to spend time with him on the court. Love to all of you.

I'm so shocked and sorry: Rob was my attorney for many yrs.;legal services too numerous to mention. We had a common bond with tennis also. He talked most of his wonderful family, not of himself.

Dear Vicki and the rest of the Clan McCormick:
I feel so honored to have called Rob my great friend, classmate, teamate and personal joke machine. We had so many great times banging our heads together at Mapledale basketball court, laughing at the absurdity of spending three years in law school, flubbing simple ground balls, singing off-key at Derry Hagerty's, losing our food in the river and simply being together with you and Rob - great people, great friends and many many memories of one of the truly good, loving and generous real men I have ever known. Sometimes, it is the quality of a life that really counts and not the length, and in Rob's case his whole life was marked by dignity, a great sense of humor, love and - man - that is quality in spades. I loved Rob and John like brothers and miss them both and being in Milwaukee more that I can express. Maybe God decided that John needed someone he could post-up on heaven's basketball court and Rob needed someone who would always pretend he hadn't heard the same joke before. I have been called back to D.C. today to work so I won't be able to extend my love and condolences in person today, but Ellen and I are going to plan a trip to come visit all our special friends this summer and please know how special you and Rob have always been to us - despite the distance and time that has past. All our love to you Vicki and you beautiful children, Tom, Jim and Cheryl. They say that our parents generation was the best generation of men - but knowing Rob and John - I think I can argue the case - that no generation has ever produced two better men, better fathers, better husbands and better friends. It is comforting to know that Rob and John will be resting next to each other forever. If there is anything whatsoever that I can do for you and your family, please, please come to me at anytime with any need.

All my prayers of support, love, respect and affection to you and the McCormick Clan.

Mike Crowley, on behalf of Ellen, Sean and Erin aka Clan Crowley

The Sikorski family (Al, Patti, Heather, Dana, Chris and Luke) would like to extend our deepest sympathies to you on your loss. We will each miss Rob. He was a friend, tennis partner; a legal consul and an encyclopedia of jokes. When ever we spoke it began with a hello and a smile with questions of concerns of our family and ended with a laughing good bye. Our thoughts and prayers are with you..

On behalf of the Village Board of Trustees, Village Staff and residents of Greendale I wish to express our deepest condolences to Vicki, the family, friends and to all that are hurting during this time.

Dear Vicki and children: Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Rob was not only a good friend of John and Deb's but ours also. I (Jim) have many memories of good times with Rob and you, however, some are a little fuzzy. (I would like to blame old age but I cannot.) Rob will be deeply missed by many. If there is anything you need, please do not hesitate to call on us, we are not that far away. God Bless. Love, Jim & Rosann Grahovac
