My sympathy and prayers to your family. I am so sorry for your loss. I just heard through one of Rob's WP class mates. My husband George Dunaway and Rob roomed together at WP company B-1. Our George passed in 2015. My heart goes out to you. May the many wonderful memories you have be cherished and help to heal your hurting hearts. My prayer that God be your strength and bring much peace and joy to you and your family in the years to come.

COL Madden was my first boss when I arrived at USSTRATCOM. His approach then and over the years of working together was always very even keel. Never too high or low. His leadership was always positive. He spoke often of his kids over the years and was a proud father. I will miss his kind words in the halls at USSTRATCOM.

I sit here tonight in total shock. Rob was one of the finest military officers I served with in over 30 years in the Army and 15 more years at the Army War College. He was one of the very best.
