"At the Gate A beautiful garden now stands alone, missing the one who nurtuned it...But now he is gone..His flowers still bloom and the sun it still shines..But the rain is like teardrops for the ones left behind..The weeds lay waiting to take the gardens beauty away..But the beautiful memories of its keeper are in our hearts to stay..He loved every flower, even some that were weeds..So much love he would plant each little seed.. But just like his flowers he was part of God's plan..So when it was time our Good Lord reached down his hand..He looked in the garden and searched for the best..That's when he found Rob, it was his time to rest..It was hard for us who loved him to just let him go..But our Lord had a spot in his garden that needed a gentle soul..So when you start missing Rob, remember if you just wait...When God has a spot in his garden..Rob will meet us at the gate..... Rob, It's been 4 years and I miss you so much....Our phone conversations and being able to hear your voice made things all right...I so wish I could hear you again...It will be terrific when we are all together...Our circle of life will be complete.....I love you, young man and I await the day to be together with you....Love, your momma...."
In loving memory of

"Camping in Cherokee, NCWe went camping several years ago in Cherokee, NC with Darren and Bobbie and Justin. When we arrived at the campground we couldn't believe how nasty it was.. Well Bobbie immediately called Rob on the phone and asked him to get us out of here and please find another campground. Within 5 minutes Rob had found us one and it was only a few miles up the road and turned out to be one of the best campgrounds we had ever stayed at. Rob and Kristin later joined us and the next morning he cooked breakfast for everyone on the firepit - he was a great cook! We will miss you Rob! Rest in Peace! Love, Arlene and Armand"

"Rob & I I first met Rob when we were both in Little League baseball together, probably around 9 or 10 yrs old. From there we had our own separate friends because Rob and I went to different Elementary schools, but literally as soon as parents would allow we started riding bicycles to either each others houses or would meet up and ride out in the woods to hit the trails. We were already thick as thieves but getting my drivers license first only gave us more opportunity to get into some kind of trouble. We weren't criminals that's for sure but at times I'm sure using the words "pushing the envelope might be considered an understatement by some people who knew Rob & I. I have all kinds of memories of shooting pool, flying up and down the roads on snowmobiles during a snow storm in East Templeton, Baldwinville & Gardner. Basically driving our parents nuts, all the while laughing until it hurt sometimes. I remember the day he told me he was going in the coast guard, and me telling him he was crazy, telling him "you think you don't like people telling you what to do now, wait till you get there" he laughed at me of course. The funny part of this story was that it was only a little while later that I found myself joining the Air Force. Unfortunately, I let too much time go by, before I looked him up again, life is too short to live with regrets, so I'll remember him as the person I know he was. He was by far someone I could always count on, he was like a brother I never had, my best friend, my team mate, and most certainly someone I respected and thought the world of. I can't ever remember a time when Rob would not drop everything to lend me or anyone else a hand with something. It's been a long time since I saw ya Rob, but I could swear it feels like just yesterday we were on our way to go four wheeling at Route 2 sandbanks, even though we're not supposed to be out there, "ah, who's gonna catch us ?" - ANONYMOUS. I will surely miss my friend with everything that I am. God Bless"
"RobbieOur most sincere sympathy to your family Rob, How we have missed you all these years, you and Dan spent more time together than most brothers, at your house & ours in Templeton, but somehow life has a way of perpetual changes. Our fondest memories of you was "basketball games" at NRHS with both you and Dan on the court, & you calling me "MA" you always made me laugh, & I never thought anyone could be taller than Dan & there you were, with that smile! We thought of you often, especially when Dan was away in Iraq & Afghanistan, wondered what you were doing, but never knew how to find you - we are both so sad for the loss of such a beautiful spirit! OUR LOVE to your family & all who loved you Robbie. Nancy & Roy from Florida"
