Rob was such a nice guy. I was a basketball manager at the same time as him. I think he did it at the time to step out of his usual roles. Like everything else he did, he did it at the highest level. Condolences to his family and friends.

My condolences to his wife. Robert was a neighbor. I met him in the 4th grade. He was highly intelligent. My parents were friends with his Aunt and Uncle with whom he lived with. May he rest in peace. Tari Manke Nash

As an exceptionally bright student in the ninth grade, Robert produced a great many short essays for class and generally set a high standard in a group of bright, vocal, and engaging kids. He won my admiration for his awareness of and consideration for his compatriots, thereby making this young English teacher´s work a daily joy. Robert led a wonderfully consequential life and suffered too early a loss for the rest of us.

Dear Amira, Robert was a cool guy. He had a very dry sense of humor and he was a kind soul. I´m so sorry for your loss; he will be missed.
