Rob will be sorely missed and leaves a huge hole in the lives of those who knew and loved him.
He had a big heart and was never afraid to share his feelings.
I appreciated his sense of humor and the way he bantered with Tommy, who won´t be "picking on him" any more as he´d jokingly tell Sandy and anyone else who would listen!
In truth no one ever cared more or took better care of Rob than Tommy!
