My thoughts and prayers go out to the Greenlee Family during this time of need and sorrow. I've known Rob for many years. 2 months ago, the man took 2 hours from his day to make sure I had a pair of boots that worked for me and my prosthetic. He was willing to help when everyone else gave up. Such a wonderful man gone too soon

So sorry to hear of Rob's passing. He was a neighbor of mine growing up in Waynesburg on Ninth Street. The Rob I remember had endless energy and never met a stranger. He was a true community servant and will be missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him.

Terri, I'm so sorry to hear of Rob's sudden passing. My heart breaks for you and your family. He ALWAYS had the ability to light up a room and was friendly to all he met. We met in the late 70's at the Arena Roller Rink and I was always amazed at his ability to do a complete side split on wheels. His flexibility was uncanny. His time here has been special. My deepest sympathies.
