Arlene, Trevor, Brett, Uncle Linus and my dear cousins – our most sincere condolences to you. Rob was one of a kind – we will miss that friendly smile and easy conversation. I will never forget when he picked me up in his red sports car to drive me to Grand Bend for the wedding – I felt pretty special to be treated to such a cool gesture. I will definitely miss our good-bye hugs – the shortest and tallest people at any gathering, but we figured it out. Til we meet again, Rob.
