Rob was my friend. He was also my boss. What I remember most is how when we would laugh, he would turn completely red in the face. His laugh was the best. He found a sense on humor in most situations and I can still keep hearing him say "Hey Kiddo". My sincere condolences go out to his entire family and his friends. Trust me, he had many friends. More maybe than he knew. I wish and pray for peace for the family, for his loved ones, for his friends and for his co-workers. Even his dogs. He was loved and is still loved and will be greatly missed by all. I, as are many, am still in shock that we will never see his fabulous smile again, but we all need to know and believe that he's smiling down on us. The pain the family is experiencing cannot be changed, it cannot be taken away and it cannot be consoled. I wish all involved some type of peace in this healing process and the realization that Rob has moved on to a better place. I will miss him greatly. I just spoke to him in length on Friday, and he sounded great. He sounded happy. That's what we all need to try and remember. How joyous he was and how funny he was. What a loving friend, son, uncle, loved one, boss, etc... that he was and will always be.
