I saw last night that Robert had passed. Both Rosie and I send our sympathy, thaughts and prayers.
It was always such a joy to see and talk with him. I will always remember the time he moved us to Beaverdale here. Not a reflection on his work, but I had developed the phrase already, "Don't move, let the kids clean it out."
Rosie remembers when she was working with Block and called Robert and Troy the many times to move offices. We have reminiced the last 24 hours.
Again, our thaughts are with you, contact me if you wish.

Robert Sowers was more to us than just the guy who delivered Penske trucks. He was our friend who always had time for a cup of coffee. He was a part of the Party Time family who always had a joke and a smile for everyone. We will always remember Robert for who he was to us. He will be sorely missed by all. Our deepest condolances to his family.
