Beautiful Cheryl, Mr. C. and I send our deepest condolences to you and family! We were shocked to hear of Rob's passing. I can hear his voice laughing with me now and telling me how blessed he was with you and the kids! The last time I spoke to him I was saying congrats on the new grand baby! I can't believe he's gone! Our thoughts and prayers are with you always!!!!

Robbie was my first best friend. I've told the story a million times how on the first day of kindergarten he taught me how to tie my shoes. That's how our friendship began, with generosity, humor and warm-heartedness, the things that made Rob so great. I greatly miss those fun, easy times we had growing up in the Hills, being A/V boys in Ocean Grove Middle School, starting a band, running wild in the woods.
It seems like yesterday but it all goes so quickly.

To the entire family, please accept my condolences and know that I recognize the love he gave the world and he'll always be in my heart. Peace to you.

Cheryl and Family, I'm so sorry for your loss, I don't even know what to say except that he will be watching over you and that you have many memories to hold onto. Cheryl we go way back and I knew Robbie almost as long! We roamed those school halls together, then I moved down the street from you all about 10 yrs ago! I'll miss waving to Rob as he drove by the house, sometimes stopping to chat! May God bless his soul and bring your family strength and peace through this difficult time.

My Dearest Rob,

You will forever be the love of my life. I still can't believe you are gone. It doesn't seem real. I keep expecting to hear you call out my name, but instead there is nothing but silence. I miss you soo much. We were supposed to grow old together, but I'm left here alone without you. I know you will always be with me in my heart, and I will hold onto that forever! Be at peace my dear. I love you!!

Forever Loving You,
Cheryl

Cheryl, Jordan, Taylor, Robbie Jr., Connor, & Jayden,

There are no words to express the sorrow I feel for the loss of your husband & father (& grandfather too). I will always be thankful for the times that he was there for Jake & I and how he welcomed us into his home as we got back on our feet. He's been a part of our lives for so long & there are many wonderful memories that we will cherish. May he rest in eternal peace and continue to watch over you and provide the strength you need to get through the upcoming days & thereafter. Keep the wonderful memories alive in your heart and in the many songs he sang to you. We all love you so very much and will continue to be here to comfort and help you along the way.

Rest in peace, Rob!

Lynda & Jake

Dad, I can't believe you are really gone. I miss those warm hugs, those life lesson and inspirational conversations, those morning sunrises, everything. I would do anything to see you one last time. I sit here and listen to songs that remind me of you and wish that I could here you sing them again. I watched you take your last breath like you did with your mom. I know that you are in a much better place now and you are not in pain. Say hi to Hilde and Chris for me!!! I love you Daddy :)

After only meeting Robert, I knew instantly that he was a great person,extremely caring and I'd say one of the most interesting people I have yet to meet. It is sad that he is no longer with this world. However, his presence lives on in the memories opt those who knew him best. I am very thankful to have met him as, well as his beautiful family. May his soul rest easy.
