Robert Stirling Wylie III

Dear Sarah and Meaghan,
We were so sorry to hear the sad news of Rob's passing. We are unable to attend Rob's Memorial service tomorrow but want you to know we will be thinking of you both; so many great memories of our time with you, Jane and Rob in Holliston. With our love and sincerest condolences,
Sarah and John Gray.

On Sunday 8th June 2025 here in the UK I resolved to seek out an old work buddy from World Courier days in London in the early 1980,s . With no luck on Facebook I googled his name : Imagine my shock on finding his obituary after his untimely death May 25th , less than a month earlier .
Rob enriched our lives in the London office when he worked with us for a year or so . He and I became good friends , the photos posted are of us and my family during a visit to my parents who lived in Paris ( France ) at the time . We had many adventures on that trip : Taking the stairs down the Eiffel Tower ( Not for the faint hearted ) and climbing the flag pole atop the Notre Dame Cathedral are two that stick in my mind . We returned to the UK on the elderly Ferry in the picture unaware that we were in for 5 hours of hell in very stormy waters : We passed the time in the bar ( where else ) drinking beer and listening to the Grateful Dead on repeat whilst all manner of liquids , glass and debris slid past us . I developed a lifelong love of the sea that day , Rob was less keen . God moves in mysterious ways .
Rob,s parents returned the compliment and I visited the house in Connecticut whilst on an exchange work trip with World Courier . Subsequently , Rob left for home , I left World Courier and with no email service we lost touch . So pleased to have been a small part of Rob and Jane,s journey in life , both taken far too soon . God Speed . Andrew Collins.

R.I.P my beautiful Rob from your favourite Greenwich babysitter Teresa.

Hi Rob, the God may not understand tax but he will like someone who is as friendly and knowledgeable as you are. R.I.P.

What a beautifully written, spot-on tribute to this wonderful man. Ross and I are deeply saddened by his passing but are eternally grateful that our paths intersected so many years ago - Bear was an excellent matchmaker. He shared his joy of living with everyone and we are the better for having known him.

The world lost a little bit of its light and humor when Robb passed. He was the consummate professional and the definition of a servant leader. He always started a conversation with how is your family because he wanted the opportunity to talk about his family. He was immensely proud of his family. I will always have fond memories of our Saturday´s in the office with our dogs! Rest in Peace.

Sending my prayers and condolences to those who loved Robert so deeply. I especially lift up Sarah& Meaghan whose last five years are marked by loss of their mother, grandfather and now their father, Rob who adored them. His resilient spirit and gratefulness for life was obvious. I am deeply sorry to hear of his death and hope the memories of his buoyancy in life brings his daughters and all who loved Rob a unique strength & peace.
