He reminds me of a big teddy bear. I admired him for the love that he gave his super wife and how they had great love for each other. Rob is in heaven and will be watching over Kathy and I can see that big smile on his face as I am writing this. Great lost to all who knew him. The sight of a cardinal holds special meaning, sometimes evoking emotional or spiritual feelings. They say the vibrant red bird is an uplifting, happy sign that those we have lost will live forever, so long as we keep their memory alive in our hearts. Elizabeth says Kathy the Rob birds will come girlfriend.

Every single time I saw him, he made me smile and laugh! He was funny, boisterous and the life of any event.
He will be sorely missed.
