Paula, I am so sorry to read that Rob passed away. I know you will miss him, as will all his many friends and colleagues.

May you find comfort in all your memories of the life you have shared together.

Rob was a fine fellow: friendly; warm; engaged; and a good guy to have around. May his family and friends take some comfort from his life well lived- and that it made a difference.
