It´s been almost 3 years now. I still wish sometimes I could call you up and ask you the questions no one but you would know the answer too. Because of you I have so many amazing memories. Because of you I was given opportunities that very few people can say they had. I miss your witty comebacks and the knowledge you would share about the most random things. It´s just not the same. I´m glad I have the last memory of you as a good one. We miss you.

I was very sorry to hear about Rob when my Mom told me this past weekend. I don't remember the visits to your house, I suppose I was too little, but do remember visiting his big cat rescue. There is one thing that death of a loved one cannot take away, and that is love. Love is not a memory, it's a feeling that resides in your heart and soul. RIP Rob.

I can't think of Rob without thinking of the many animals he has sheltered. You never knew, when visiting the Craig's what animal would greet you: snake, dog or a larger mammal. Joyce and Dick supported him all the way.
