I am deeply saddened and very disturbed to hear about Rob's passing. Prior to leaving the country for vacation on June 5th, I had spoken with him briefly. Rob was always smiling and playing jokes. I gave him the nickname "Rockstar" Rob because he was always drinking those energy drinks. You will be greatly missed my friend and I'm sorry I did not get a chance to say good bye. You will always have a special place in my heart "Rockstar Rob". May your story be told someday. To Rob's Family, my deepest apologies and may you find some closure.
