Rob, I knew this day would come, I just never dreamed so soon. You were the oldest, but you still had so much more of life to see. We talked on the phone at least once a month, even though yours always lost connection. Now I can`t say "can you hear me now"at least 4 times before I get it, your done talking. I Iove and will miss you. Dont worry about Courtygirl she is loved and will be well taken care of. I love her and she will always remind me of you. I know you will be with mom and dad so I will be there often, you will always be in my thoughts and forever in my heart, I hope you are at peace. I will Love You Always Your Sister Sue.........

Jane and Courtney,
I will never forget Rob from all the great years of softball. He was an intense individual but always always cared about other people. He could bring a smile to your face just with his laughter and silly smiles. He was a good man and will be very much missed. I'm sorry we were out of town and could not attend the service. Memories can never die and I will keep him with me in my memories as I'm sure you will. God bless you both.

Courtney, your father was well known to the community here in Gloversville,NY..when I saw you father on a daily basis, he always had a smile, I asked him one day..Rob your always smiling don't you ever have a bad day? Rob's reply was..why frown, it won't change things in life..that was 30+ years ago..imagine if all walks of life had your father's outlook in life..he will be dearly missed..God Bless..

My condolences. I rode snowmobles with Bob during high school. We had some good times. The presence of Bob can still be felt anytime we want. Our life spark never dies. Especially at times like these if you so desire, sit quietly and feel his presence near you. When you speak to him you will have the feeling that he is listening and right there with you. He is free from any of the troubles of this world and this life. We may take comfort in that. Best wishes.
