My deepest sympathies over Rob. I grew up half a block from Rob. I think of cherished childhood memories like Rob being barefoot all summer, his daily trips to 7-Eleven for a Big Gulp, the sound of U2s music playing through his windows, and when hed play tennis with me on Sunday afternoons. Rob was the nicest, coolest guy in our neighborhood. Miss ya Rob. Truly a great guy, so tragic, too soon.

I feel very fortunate to have had Rob as a friend for so many years. He was truly one of a kind and I have so many fond memories of our countless and typically idiotic adventures.

I didn't know Rob very well as my husband and I met him through Jay Mattas. He was a very nice and kind young man. So sorry for your loss.

Rob was a good soul, a good friend to all, always ready to listen. No one should have to endure so much pain in so short a life time. His pain is gone now. He in a better place. May his loved ones find the strength to deal with his going and know the joy in knowing that we will see him again soon with his dad. Praise God.
