I was so sorry to see this in the paper last Sunday. Rob was our neighbor way back when he lived in Fl Shores. Our boys were great friends. I'm Jordan and Jason's mom. My heart goes out to the family.

Rob and I shared the magic and joys of childhood and although years and distance separated us and kept us from friendship in adulthood, he is my forever buddy. I don't think he ever knew how much I missed his friendship when the Florida move separated us and put us on different life paths. He taught me to be the tom boy; the hiker; the joker and made me laugh sooooo hard!We could just do the craziest things-mud pies and onion grass; empting those beer cans at MR. Ryder's picnics. When I think of him we are once again young; forever young. I am so saddened by this loss and pray we meet again. My heart goes out to all of you.

May all of your memories be full of love. My prayers are with you all. Jaye
