our thoughts are with you, Deana, Jacob,Holly, family and friends.
Rob would drop Jacob off at preschool with little Holly in his arms and a friendly "good morning". I will always remember our friendly chats and his cheerful smile. We are truly sorry for your great loss.

Shocked to read about Rob's passing in the local paper this evening. My sympathies to the family.

I went to Maillard Jr. and Centennial with Rob. We weren't close but I was sure glad to see his big smilling face we he showed up at the 20th reunion this summer.

He was a hell of a nice guy.

I have a good photo of Rob with Debbie Lock and Marc Michaud from the reunion if anyone wishes me to send it to them.

My thoughts and prayers go out to Deana, Jacob, Holly, Rob's Parents and Siblings, and all his Relatives and Friends who will be affected by this tragic loss. I have many great memories of Rob and although I have lived out of Canada the past 5 years and have not seen him in years I will never forget the great, fun, loving person he was, who always had a big smile on his face.

He will be missed dearly.

We had the honor of calling Rob our friend for over 20 years, he truly was a wonderful person who made life better for all those who were part of his.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you Deana,Jacob,Holly and all who struggle to understand the loss of such a great Father, Husband, Brother and Friend.
You will be dearly missed my friend.

Although I have only known Rob for a year and a half, he was the kind of person that leaves an impression. He always made me laugh during his visits and his attitude towards life was one that more of us should have. If there is any consolation to this tragic accident it would be that he died doing something he loved. We will miss you very much.

I met Rob in 1979 at Lord Baden Powell Elementary. He is a great memory from my early years here in Coquitalm. He was bigger than life and I will miss him dearly.

Although we lost touch over the years I just saw him in the late Spring at Coquitlam Little League Founders Day. A big smile on his face as always, and a warm hello as though no time had passed.

My heart goes out to Deana, Jacob and Holly. My thoughts are with you all.

Our daughter Vanessa was in Jacob's kindergarten class last year. I would stand around outside of class and speak with Rob all the time. He was a great person and you could tell a very loving father. Our deepest sympathy goes out to you and the children. May his memory live on within you all forever.
