Although Rob is no longer with us, his spirit will continue to shine brightly in the hearts of all who had the privilege of knowing him. His legacy of love, resilience, humor and selflessness will endure, serving as a reminder of the incredible person he was. Rob made a significant impact on all that knew him. He was known for his kind heart, offering a helping hand to anyone in need.
