Rob was an avid hunter, fisherman, and motorcyclist. He was a successful business owner, fixer of all things big and small, and someone you could always count on. More importantly Rob was a devoted father, grandfather,and friend. His selflessness and generosity could be seen by all who knew him. He taught by example, led with compassion, and always put others first. We are very fortunate to have known and loved him. We miss him dearly, but he will continue to live on in our hearts and memories.
