I was so shocked to see the message about Rob. I will always remember my cousin and the fun summer he and Rick spent with our family in northern Mi.
Hope to one day get to know Donna, Katie and Jessica.

Deepest and Heartfelt thoughts to Rob's Family. Never forgotten and Forever in our hearts. May the Fishing Angels be with him in his journeys in Heaven, and I hope he leaves some Walleye for Me!

It was nice to know a friend with such wonderful values, happiness, kindness, dignity, and such appreciation of life.
Rob was a wonderful Father and Husband to his Family, and a special Friend to look up too in times of need.
Will be sadly missed by everyone, and only wish there were more People like Rob on this Earth.

Always in Our Thoughts and Prayers.

To the Woods Family..May God replace the pain of your loss with the memories of the good times with Robbie.
I grew up across the street on Baldwin Avenue. Those good and simple times are nothing more then a distant memory now. Robbie was always up for a game and good for a laugh.
The time when a hockey net on the street was meant time to play until the street lights came on. Then it was time for hide and seek. Both of which you don't see kids do much of anymore. Robbie and his brother Rick where always up for a game of street hockey.

Thanks for the memories old friend. You will be missed.
