Robert served his country honorably in the United States Marine Corps in the 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing.

It's still unimaginable that one week ago today we lost someone so special to so many. There are no words for such a devastating loss. Beloved husband, father, son, brother, godfather, dog/kitten/bunny Dad, friend, colleague, teammate, colleague, veteran, and all around kind human, Rob may be gone from this earth, however he will forever remain in the hearts and minds of those who were fortunate enough to have had him in their lives, whether for a moment, or all forty eight of his too short years. Our hearts go out to Karen, Robby, Joe, Mrs. Bowersox, Ken, Donna, Julie and everyone else who was touched by his kind heart, warm smile and infectious laugh. Rest in gentle peace, Rob. We miss you and always will.
