Dearest Keith & Peggy,

We will miss him so much. I am so sorry for your loss and that Evelyn won’t have the opportunity to hang out with one COOL Grandpa. I hope you find comfort in the fact that he loved his grand-daughter more than words could ever express and she brought him so much joy.
Keith, thank you for making your Dad an important part of our family. I will never forget our summer camping trips together, Brandon can still tie a fantastic knot thanks to Rob. Our family reunions were so much fun with Rob helping create the games. I will treasure the Christmas’s, Easter’s, & Thanksgiving’s we had the past few years with him. He had such a great wit and the funniest stories. I am still laughing about the construction rake story this past Thanksgiving!
I’m going follow in my son’s wise footsteps and pray for your family. Rob is in Heaven now pain free and with his true love but it is so hard for the family left behind so I will pray for beautiful memories to soften the pain.

All of our Love,
Troy, Gail, Brandon and Cordelia

Condolence from Carol Carroll on December 8th, 2014 11:26 AM

To Rob’s family – your Dad, brother, son was a very kind man and SO family oriented, and the suddenness of his passing makes it all the more unfair and sad. Rob should have had a lot more years to continue the good he’s always done.

Please accept my sympathy for the loss of someone who held such an important place in your lives.

Sincerely,

Carol Carroll
Fanshawe College
