I went to school with Rob until his move to Germany. We reconnected after our 10 year SV reunion. Rob was just a so unique! He was creative beyond all boundaries and had a wicked sense of humor. He also helped raise three amazing kids. What a wonderful legacy! He will be missed by so very many. My prayers for all those missing him today. ❤️

I remember Rob making a couple of pieces of art in graphics class at Hahn High in Germany, that I've since shared on Facebook. I wish I'd kept them, as I had scanned them to my computer one year and threw them away. One was like an advertisement for Canyon Lake, Texas, and the other was dark humor - it said I got bombed at the 1980 Munchen Oktoberfest, with broken beer kegs on either side of it (the year there was a bomb attack there.) He's always had a unique sense of humor. I'm really going to miss his dad jokes and trivia questions on Facebook. I feel so much for his family. He is missed by many.

I met Rob some 25+ years ago. And he soon became one of my closest friends. I will always remember his personality, sense of humor and smile. My thoughts are with Grant, Allie and Drew. He loved you so much! Rest well, my friend.

I met Rob a couple of years ago. I was impressed by his integrity, his good manners and the fact that he never made a promise he could not keep. We bonded quickly and I came to appreciate our fast friendship. Last August his was the face I saw when I woke up in the recovery room at St. Luke's. He drove me home, made sure I ate, got to bed and didn't laugh when I peed my pants! I returned the favor the week before he left us and went on to his next big adventure. I miss my friend very much and always will. To his family I send light and love. To Rob, I hope you know how much I appreciated and cared for you my friend. I don't think I ever told you. I"m sorry that I never said it but I loved you very much and i'm sure glad we met. I will miss you but I will never forget you. Thank you for all the encouragement and the advice. It sure was fun while it lasted. DANGER RANGER.
