Remembering the work that we did together on a work project. Even today, years after that project, his actions and hard work are still a factor in my motivation. Miss you, Rob.

We are all very shocked and saddened to hear of Rob's passing. I find myself reflecting back on the many great memories Rob was a part of. Raucous softball games, great golf trips, poker parties....We lost a great guy. I hope each person's memories of Rob bring them comfort and peace. Condolences to his daughters and extended family back in Michigan. His Idaho family will miss him!
