We are so saddened and full of disbelief to hear of Rob's passing. He was always so easy going and fun to be around. It has been years since we last saw Rob, but his presence will always be remembered and dearly missed!

I was so sorry to hear of Robs passing. He always made me laugh and commented one time on a discussion my daughter and I were having on her fb wall, he always said "thank you for the laugh Dear" I'll miss the connection and it makes my heart so sad that he's gone in an earthly sense. I'm just greateful I reconnected with him.

Marge, Barry and Jody,
Shocked to hear of Rob's passing just this evening. Such a young man to be taken so soon. It has been a long time since I have seen Rob but do remember visits with him as a young child in Moose Jaw with Ray and Marge and many times when he was whisked away by his Grandpa Bill and Grandma Leona. Rob loved time with his grandparents and that is where I remember his warm, welcoming smile and kindness as he greeted us when we came to visit. The Lord will welcome him with open arms.
Look forward to sharing a cup of coffee and some chat time with you and your family.
Marge my arms reach out to give you a big hug as it is a terrible struggle to lose a child. Will call you soon, Marge.

I stare at this and i don't even know what too write? All i can say the devastation of Rob gone has made it very strange! We are all in shock still, the workplace has become a very unfamiliar place too be! The look of devastation on everybody's face says it all! One cashier said it best...We are here...but were not!

I have completed one work week without Rob....and for sure it was strange and quiet....no talking about sports....no jokes...none of Robs music or food talk!!!! Instead Robs name tag is hanging on the wall of my office....Instead i am seeing Robs family and he is not there....Instead and i promise i will laugh at peoples sports teams on my own now!!

Life will eventually go on for all of us, but for the moment we know someone is missing and will be missed forever! In honor of you i will sign out below in your favorite town!

O my Robbie, you will be dearly missed by many. You brought such happiness into life with your many laughs and sarcasms. You were an amazing awesome man. I cannot believe you are gone. But although your earthly body is gone your memories will live on forever in all those you left behind, always to be cherished.

For the family and friends of Robbie;

Our lives pass by so normally,
the ebb and flow of our days…
When within a few seconds turned upside down,
we're captured by loss and pain.
So many questions flood our hearts,
the “why's” and the “how's” filled with grief…
Abrupt awareness of human frailty,
challenge our comfortable beliefs.

In these times of sorrow and mourning,
we share memories that make us laugh…
Wonderfully wild and amazing stories, a sweet spoken epitaph.
May we see you again at the party in heaven,
the joy unspeakable to come…
You made our lives brighter just by being yourself,
each day you walked under the sun.
