Dear family as you know Rob,John Clark and I have been friends for 60 yrs and the love we share is that of real brothers. We all came to each other's aid at one point or another during our lives and Rob's generous and compassionate spirit was always there for me. I really mean ALWAYS! I feel his presence whenever I think of him and that is often. I will miss him every day, but I will celebrate him and the fact that he is in the best place of all! With Warmest regards and please know we are family
