I was so sad to hear this news today - you always were able to bring a smile to my face and cheer me up. Your energy could brighten up any room and everyone wanted to be your friend. You will be missed friend, and not forgotten. Cabbage.

I am deeply saddened to hear about the passing of Rob, at such a young age, such a great lose.
Rob left me so many childhood memories. He was so different, so cool, so unique. His family was so caring and kind. They welcomed me into their beautiful, warm home, and offered me so many memories of growing up as a kid.
We'd play stick ball in the neighborhood streets but Rob never tired. So we'd end up playing basketball in his driveway for hours. We'd hang out at his (wicked cool) house, fishing through baseball cards and listening to The Clash. Rob was a great kid to hang out with way back in the day, and he grew up to be a successful person to many people! May he rest in peace.

We remain shocked and profoundly saddened at the sudden departure of beloved close friend Rob.So many happy memories of times spent with "Brookline Bobby" be it Quincy, Chatham or Hanover. Rob was family, and we cannot remember celebrating a Christmas Eve without Rob in our home. In disbelief we mourn the loss of our friend. We extend sincere condolences to Dan, Lisa, Kevin, Jack and Anne.
RIP Rob

Dear Dan and family, we are very sorry to hear of Robert’s passing. Many fond memories of Rob at our home having breakfast with the boys. We kidded him that that he held the record for pancakes at one sitting. Rob and Paul were good friends and it was always a pleasure to have them together. We pray that your family will find comfort in knowing that Rob was a fine man and that your pain will lessen with the coming days. We will miss him. God bless you and your family.

We reconnected after many years, we were doubles partners in tennis at Quincy Tennis Club when we were kids in the seventies. We supported each other on LinkedIn. He started it by liking and sharing anything I posted. I was happy to return the favor. We talked about playing tennis again. The last message I got from him was very typical of Rob. A congratulations and a kind compliment. He sent it to me Friday last week. My condolences to the family, Rob was a real good friend and I am truly saddened at his passing.
