Rob,
I can't believe that a year has passed since you were taken from us. Our family will never be the same again. I miss you each and everyday, even though I do see the signs that you are still around us. I know that someday we will all be together again and I take comfort in that. Please continue to give us those little signs that you are still near. Time goes on, but you will never be forgotten. I love you so much Rob and I know that you loved all of us. Peace be with you and all of our family in Heaven with you!
Love,
Donna

Happy Birthday Rob! We all Love you and miss you more than words can say!
Our Family Chain is Broken
They say memories are golden,
Well, maybe that is true;
I never wanted memories,
I only wanted you.
A million times I needed you,
A million times I cried;
If love alone could have saved you,
You never would have died.
In life I loved you dearly,
In death I love you still;
In my heart you hold a piece
No one could ever fill.
But now I know you want me
To mourn for you no more,
To remember the happy times
Life still has much in store.
Since you'll never be forgotten
I pledge to you today;
A hallowed place within my heart
Is where you'll always stay.
If tears could build a stairway
And heartaches make a lane;
I'd walk a path to heaven
And bring you back again.
Our family chain is broken,
and nothing seems the same;
But as God calls us one by one,
The chain will link again!
August 19, 2008
Happy Birthday Rob, It has been a long six months since you were taken from us. There is not a day that goes by that I don't think about you. I'm sure your day will be extra special since you are now with Uncle Bob and Aunt Darline and they will no doubt make today very special.

To all the family and to Robert
I guess you can say I have finally found courage to leave a little message in this guest book.
I find myself on a daily basis asking why god could take someone like Robert? I guess it is because he needed him more than we did. I find it hard sometimes to think about him because he was such a loving soul and gave so much to those he loved and cared about. See Robert was a friend to me someone I could always talk to and someone who gave me strength to keep going. He would always say how proud he was of me and all of us. I know I will miss him dearly. I will strive to make him proud everyday of my life and finish what I have set out to do no matter what the odds because I know that is what he would have wanted for me. I know he will be watching over us all and will be holding our place in heaven. Love and miss you all.
A poem of love
God as taken you away from us and we do miss you so,
But know that we are wishing you eaternal peace.
We may not always see you, but we know that your there, everywhere.
When the wind sings in our ears, we know you are here.
When we sit around together as a family we know that you are there.
When we say our vows in marriage I know you will be there.
So I promise not to cry sad tears, but rejoice in knowing you are near.

Dear Lori, Dave, and Megan,
My heart is with you, I am devestated to hear that Rob has passed, and I am sorry I could not attend the funeral. A few great memories come to mind. I remember the cutest little boy, with big brown eyes, and sandy blonde hair, on Blondo St., Dave throwing pillows, Rob running, laughing and dodging them as we sat on the floor together laughing, I remember a cute little guy way to tiny to be riding a big 4-wheeler and a horse I would not attempt to ride, I remember a handsome young man, with a great smile and a sparkle in his eye, that had a great heart from the love of his parents and also the good looks of his dad. I haven't seen Rob in awhile but I enjoyed every second with him as he touched my heart deeply, thats what Rob did without even knowing it. My children and I suffer with you greatly and I will keep you in my prayers. Love you always, Miss you all, Lori Ryan Corbin

Dear Robert,
Hey buddy I hope you're up in heaven watching over your mom, dad and sister. I know you are cause you just always had it in your eyes. You were always a kind good boy. Give your mom and dad peace and let them know you're watching over them whether it be through the wind or though your animals. This is a little space where people can write and talk with you. Just know kiddo, that in all your life you were so loved...
You could always read that in your mother's eyes and your father's embrace, your talks with Megan and in their laughter they shared with you. They did such a great job of raising such a wonderful beautiful loving boy. Just keep a watch on your mom, dad and sister, I know you will.
Love,
Trish

Dear sister Laur, Dave, and Megan my heart is with you.
Twinkle Twinkle my little star.
Now I wonder where you are?
The storms is rolling in,
It's hard to see where you've been.
I lost you now to the night sky
Your smile puts a twinkle in my eye.
As the clouds depart
You stay strong in my heart.
I see you have reached your goal,
Because thoughts of you warm my soul.
Twinkle Twinkle my little Rob,
I feel you with me when I sob.
Your now in a place where I dream.
A star so bright you can't miss the gleam.
I thank God for giving me my place,
The night sky forever etched your face.
This I say for all to know.....
I LOVE YOU, and hate to see you go!

To Laurie and all who were blessed by knowing Robert, this poem is for you.
Evermore
Dedicated to Robert, who was gone too soon.
How can I imagine the away of you?
Of a stranger unto me, but known somehow
Through the sun’s rays I feel the warmth
Of a man who was carving his way through here
So short the trip was, those he touched
Cry hurted tears of sorrow and pain
With your departure, Sir Robert
I pray that you forever watch, forever glide,
forever float and protect your
earthly family.
Sir, I pray that you gather the spirited family up there
And place a tender net for them still here
With their heads turned upward onto your resting place
Thinking on so many memories you’ve left
Remind them of your existing presence with a kind and light
wind,
Which will blow evermore… evermore…

Dear Sister, Dave, Megan, I believe Robert's spirit is with us in many ways. When we share a cold one around a campfire, get caught in a snowstorm, watch the huskers score a touchdown, feel the spray from boat'n too fast, and most of all making each other feel loved and welcome. I believe it would be easy to put these moments in a box and tuck em away, but, I think Robert would want us to keep fillin the box with moments together. I love you all so much. You are all in my prayers every night.

DEAR SISTER, DAVE, MEG....MY HEART AND PRAYERS ARE SO WITH ALL OF YOU. SOMEONE HAD SAID TO ME, SO SORRY FOR THE LOSS OF YOUR NEPHEW. ALL I COULD SAY WAS, I DID NOT LOSE A NEPHEW. I HAVE LOST A BROTHER, SON, AND MOST OF ALL A BEST FREIND. FOR EVERY LOG THROWN ON A CAMP FIRE, EVERY WAVE I MAY JUMP, EVERY TIME I FEEL THE WIND IN MY FACE AS I ROLL INTO A SLOW WINDING HWY, FOR EVERY SUNRISE AND SUNSET, EVERY BREATH THAT I SHALL EVER TAKE MY LITTLE ROB WILL BE RIGHT THERE WITH ME.......
THANK YOU ALL, FOR BRINGING HIM INTO THIS WORLD, FOR HE HAS TOUCHED SO MANY IN SUCH A WAY THAT WE MAY GROW IN ARE OWN LIVES WITH A SMILE THAT HE HAS GIVEN US ALL....MAY GOD BLESS YOU ALL....LOVE, YOUR BROTHER AND FREIND....POKECHOP.

Dear, Brother Dave, Laurie and Megan
As I reflect on the loss of our gentle soul Robert it brings to mind his loving nature, humorous way, infectious laugh and a hug that could melt your heart. Robert was a good young man with many of the attributes taught to all of us by our generous and loving family. Robert did as we all do he made choices some good and some not so good these choices bare the fruit of life and in the end this defines one's life.
I will miss Robert forever he was like the son I never had.
The evening I learned of Robert's death I went out on my deck as I do every evening I lifted my eyes to the heavens to say Goodnight and Rest in Peace to Mom, Dad, Nana, Gramps and Shar-De at that moment a shooting star raced across the dark winter's night sky as if Robert was saying farwell Uncle Dougger's til we meet again!
With all my love always!

The epitome of a kind
loving soul:
That's what Robert brought to this world. He had a smile and a hug that could melt your heart. He had a special love for all of his family, especially Dave, Laurie and Megan, and friends that could not be matched. He always had a smile and a kind word for everyone. His life was beginning to take shape with Lisa and the girls, whom he loved so dearly. But I guess God had a different plan in mind. Now he is in heaven with Granny and Papa, sharing a bowl of popcorn and watching over us.
Ever since he struggled into this world and then became the wonderful young man that he was, he brought joy to all around him.
He took great pride in his home that he was renovating. And he was doing such a great job. It really was an example of his personality. He took great pains to do it just the way he wanted it.
He enjoyed all aspects of his life, whether it was biking, boating, road-tripping to Chiefs games, hunting or just spending time with family and friends. He really loved going to Sturgis, boating on the river and our family hunting trips. And how we loved having him there. He brought such fun to those trips, especially those of you who know what a weak stomach he had. We had such fun pursuing the hunt, and spending time talking and laughing together around the camp.
He loved his animals and I don't think he ever met a dog he didn't like.
A truer football fan there could not have been, he never gave up on his Huskers. Win or lose he stood behind them. He loved football whether it was playing himself or following the teams that he loved.
Rob was loved so much more than he could have ever known. And he will truly be missed by all!!
I love You Rob!
And we will all stand together to get through this somehow!

Dave, Laurie and Megan your loss is far greater than words or anyone can even begin to explain. Rob was also like a second son to me. My son Eric and Rob were best friends all through High School and remained that way after graduating. Rob worked in my family business with us for several years at Hi-Temp, came back to work with me, Eric and Craig Andrews at Radius Technology. Rob stayed with me, Eric, my wife Barb, my daughter Marcie and Craig Andrews in the Motorcycle business I started in May of 2006 (RT Custom Cycles). Rob went with us to Sturgis in August of 2006 and became our tour guide because he had been there many times before with his dad and friends. He knew all the beautiful scenic routes and we took a drive into Wyoming to Devils Tower. Rob was a terrific person and would do anything to help out if you needed him. Eric and Rob enjoyed motorcycling, golfing and hung out on weekends together with other friends. Rob will always be in my heart and sole and my family all loved him as our own. I had high hopes that we could all go to Strugis again this year but my expectations were shattered Sunday when I heard of Robs passing. I will always think about Rob when I get on my bike and ride. From my family to yours, Rob is and will always be loved in our hearts, greatly missed and never forgotten as a true friend and a loyal companion.

Dear Dave, Laurie and Megan,
We feel so terribly bad for you. Words cannot express the sadness we feel. Our hearts go out to you. My god this is so terrible. Our love is always there for you. We will always remember Robert as the first baby. He will always be remembered in our lives so fondly. You should not have to suffer his loss. We are so sorry. We love you guys and are always thinking of you. Robert was such a beautiful boy and always so kind. Words cannot express ...

To think that a life like Robs could be taken in a split second hasn't exactly settled in my mind very well. Rob was like an older brother to me, and was like a son to both my parents. He will be greatly missed. We have so many memories of Rob, and of being with him, that telling just one wouldn't be right. He was one of those people that would have you laughing all night even if you only saw him for a few hours. We love Rob, and our condolences go out to Dave, Laurie, and my older sister, and long time best friend, Megan.
With Love,
The Laughlins.

If there is anything I can ever do, please let me know. Thoughts and prayers, Jeanne and Steve Brown

Robert Nowicki was the one person in my life that I could always count on no matter what. We were basically two peas in a pod and always enjoyed life to the fullest at all times. I could write a book with all of the great memories I have of Rob. He is my best friend and will never be able to be replaced. I love you with all my heart Rob and I will never forget all the great years we had together. My thoughts and prayers are with you Rob and your family.
Love,
