When my son Steven had a major surgery and we were so concerned for his welfare, Rob came to the hospital and spoke with him for a few moments. His smile and pleasant demeanor caused Steve to change for the better and I feel so sad at the loss of someone who brings joy with his presence and leaves some with those he touches. We can benefit if he just saves us a spot.
I will miss Rob’s advice that he would give me every Tuesday and Saturday mornings at the farmers markets we worked together. My booth was next to his and when it got slow, we would talk about life. When my son Christopher started working for me on Saturdays, Rob and he became good friends. It was Rob who helped to encourage Christopher to join the Coast Guard, and now he is an officer. This picture was one in which my son created this sign for himself when the market got really slow one Saturday. He gave it to Rob for this picture. It always brings a smile to my face and makes me laugh. Thank you Rob for your friendship and for blessing me and my family with yours words of wisdom. Love, Cheryl Gross
Rob was always a sweet, kind and gracious friend. He always had a smile on his face and family. It's been a long time since I have seen all of them, but the memories are sweet. Bless your precious family at this time. He is with our Lord and taking all of the beautiful sites in. Rest in peace friend.
Even though I have not seen Rob for a while, I still consider him as one of my closest friends. Rob & I go back to high school days and much further as well. We were room mates at Studio Arms in Jefferson, La. and spent so much time together solving the problems of the world at the Velvet Swing in Lakeview. The years we spent together is what made us who we were. We had such great adventures together. Man, I miss you already and look forward to seeing you again in a better place. Terry Grisamore
