Sad to hear of this loss for your family. Thinking of you, Marlene and Ryan.
Amy Hayes Preucil and Noah Hayes
I am sadden to hear of his passing, my thoughts and prayers go out to the family in this moment of sorrow.
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
Our thoughts and prayers go out to your family. Rob truly was a great man.
“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.
