    My sincere sympathy to Rob’s family at this time.
    Rob was friendly, especially in his business dealings, and always trying to find ways to make his customers happy; and make a friend at the same time.
    No one can dispute “that voice”. You knew Rob was coming, before you even saw him !
    RIP

    “His generous spirit, loud voice and sense of humor made him loved …..” and remembered by many, including myself, who did not know Rob very well, but, remembered well from the few times we met for the same. Seems like a lot of good is being lost and dying these days. Disappointing!!

      Marlene, Jessica and all, I am so sorry to learn of your loss. Carrie saw a ‘post’ from Jessica on Friday. My heart goes out to all of you. Carrie’s mom, Sandi Sloan, from Jessica’s Columbian Days.
