My sincerest condolences to the Daum family. I grew up on Grove Road - one street over and remember always seeing Robert and his mom and dad when I would take my walks on Overlook Glen; such a wonderful family! What a lovely tribute to him and he made so many contributions to our country. Thank you for your service, Rob! May you rest eternal and may your family have peace of heart during this difficult time.

I worked with Rob as a contractor for EPRI from 2008 - 2018. I planned and managed his Fuel Reliability meetings, and my husband worked for him as a Technical Contractor. We both enjoyed working with him; he was talented, well-organized, and very kind. We are both in shock to hear about his passing. We send our condolences to you and your family during this challenging time.

I only interacted with Rob a few times over the last six months. However, he made it known that he was a great family man who put his family first. He has a wonderful, loving wife and did an amazing job raising two strong, independent, resilient girls. I hope to be half the father he was to my little girl one day. Rest easy Rob.

I am very sorry for the loss of Rob. He led a very accomplished and remarkable life. I enjoyed getting to know him at so many holidays, Communion parties, and other family events when we were young. I was always happy to receive updates with all of his accomplishments and it´s clear to see why you talked about him with such pride.
