I was stunned to learn that Rob had passed. We went to school together. We practically grew up together. I´m sorry for the family´s loss. I pray that the family can move forward. I know losing your father way to early can have a profound effect on you. Just remember that your father loved you and would want you to be happy. Prayers to the family.

If there is any soundtrack for his service. Add Billy Squire Lonely is the Night. He used to mimic that in Algebra class with his leather jacket on..made me laugh. "The Asassin" was his AKA signing my yearbook. RIP

Rob was always a willing person to assist with any problem that needed to be handled. I enjoyed working with him over the years on the police department. He will be sorely missed. Rip Rob

Rob and I went through the Virginia Forensic Science Academy together in the 54th session over 20 years ago. We were roommates for that 9 weeks. I worked in Virginia Beach, he in Norfolk. Afterward, we would meet on the line and have lunch a few times and enjoyed a friendship that lasted to Richmond again where he was a guest grader for the Academy I taught at, the very one we went through as classmates. He will be missed, a great Forensic Investigator involved in some of the biggest newsworthy cases Norfolk ever saw. He was a family man who loved them dearly, we both have children the same age. Rest easy, you friends continue to have the watch.

Michelle, Alyssa, Piper..... I am immensely saddened to hear about the loss of your wonderful husband, father and friend. No words I say will take away your grief. But know that the three of you are three of my favorite people in the world and I ask that you remember him fondly with love and remember how much he adored his wife,son and little girls. I hope, hope, hope the future brings healing followed by happiness. I know with out a doubt that Rob wants his family to carry forward in life in happiness not sorrow. When you see a rainbow blow him a kiss ❤❤ I love you all.

Rob leaves behind so many wonderful memories. I'm so sorry and will be praying for you all.
I've was blessed to know him for 30 years, first working with him then becoming friends. He loved his family and being a forensic investigator, and singing karaoke.
