Out deepest and heartfelt sympathies go out to Kathleen, Chris, Debby, Illa, Jason and Rob’s many grandchildren at this very difficult time. Rob will leave an empty space in many lives. We remember our first RV trip each year was with Rob and Kathleen and many stories were told around a campfire. John and Rob enjoyed many hours sitting in our garage solving the problems of the world over a bottle of beer. Rob always had a twinkle in his eyes and that twinkle is now a star in the sky. We will miss him dearly.
Dear Kathleen,
My deepest condolences go out to you and your family. I hope you find peace in all your wonderful memories with Rob. He always had a smile…..
