I am sorry for your loss, I worked with Rob at saputo, and we became friends. He had a great sense of humor and a kind heart.

I dated Rob for a couple years over 20 years ago. I remember that he wanted to be a fireman. We saw a car accident, and he leapt out of the car and ran over to give aid to the passengers. It showed he had a compassionate heart. We remained friends and talked often through the years. I am deeply saddened by his passing, and I will miss him. My prayers and condolences go out to his family.

May God hold your hearts

Did a little bit off partying Rob
Remember time he wanted to race his fiero car against my caprice classic
Wayne Young taught him driving lesson that night
My caprice was law enforcement edition was fast
Rest easy sir
