Dear Aunt Dee and family,
Very sorry to hear of Rob's sudden passing. I have fond memories of spending time with him at Barton Lake.
Life's pathways sometimes take us in different directions. Since moving to Maine some years ago, Rob would occasionally call to check in and catch up. It was always enjoyable to talk with him.
I know he will be missed.
Our best to you and the family in this difficult time.
Warmest regards,
David, Amy, Adam and Emily Colter
