I was introduced to Rob because of my friendship with Jamie. I know he suffered for a long time. His suffering ends now. I feel for his family who must now continue on without him. But for Rob, I know you're at peace...and I'm smiling with you.

To the wonderful Unsworth Family and Friends:
Robo and I met in Paris in 1972; we traveled togehter through the next spring, and then we roomed together when I went to Carleton University.
I loved him like a brother, and cherished the fact that we were able to keep in touch through the years.
We didn't see each other much, but he was always there... and I will miss him tremendously.
All my love,
Thom Wise

Blessings to Rob's family and friends ~ Rob is fondly remembered

Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am in a thousand winds that blow,
I am the softly falling snow.
I am the gentle showers of rain,
I am the fields of ripening grain.
I am in the morning hush,
I am in the graceful rush
Of beautiful birds in circling flight,
I am the starshine of the night.
I am in the flowers that bloom,
I am in a quiet room.
I am in the birds that sing,
I am in each lovely thing.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there. I do not die.
