Oh he was such a good person! He did not deserve to be taken from all of us! So soon.
Rest In Peace Robert!!!!! We’re goingbto miss our yearly visits! It’s just so not fair!
Words cannot ever be enough to put here on how I felt about my cousin Rob! He was
Comical! Loved a good laugh! Adored his sisters and his cousins!!!!!
Made each of us feel the love he gave out to us! Oh my God please Lord help us all
get thru this terrible time of mourning! I am so sad for Beth and all of their family! Cousins
Are the FIRST friends we have as children and no other friend could understand our
“crazy family” like our Cousins Do!❤️ Rob you always will be sorely missed I will think
of you often & fondly, As cousins go you were always special to me & I know you knew it!
I love you so! I will donate to the heart & stroke foundation in lieu of flowers in Roberts Name
From all the cousins. Trisha,(Glen) Tracey (Ron)Lisa (Joe),Rob, Ken, Mike & Kathy Grieve!
God Speed Rob until we meet again ❤️
Rob used to joke with me about how big our family has gotten at the family picnics. I’d ask
Whose this one? Rob looked at me and said how do I know? I know you me. My crew!
I lost all track when they all started having the next generation! He would have been
such a great grandpa/papa/ whatever he would choose to be called to boy or girl.
He was just an amazing human being. Grandma Frances’s wishes were for all her kids
to associate more have yearly events! I say we should always try! I love this family and
I love being a part o fit God Bless all of you! Please take care of each other We are all we
Have! I love and miss you all❤️❤️

Rob will be missed. He was a great person, co-worker, and friend.
What struck me most about Rob was he always calm and respectful, no matter how things were going. He did not demand anything from anyone, his manner was all about working with others to get things done. People understood that if he asked for something, they did it, not because he was their boss but out of respect for the man.
My thoughts go out to family and friends in these difficult times.

Our deepest condolences to you and your boys at this most difficult time, may the many wonderful years and memories you have give you strength in the coming weeks ahead. With loving thoughts and prayers Beth xo
