Love you Rob!!! I will always cherish all the good times with you!!! Rest in the sweetest peace Rob. You are now finally back with your mother and father! Love you Jenn
Robert, please watch after my family and friends from heaven. I know you’re going to be the greatest guardian angel for everybody that knew you, including people who didn’t know you because you had the biggest heart out of anybody I know. I love you. Mickey
Robert, my heart breaks knowing I won’t hear your voice again, you left this world way too soon. I grew up thinking of you as my brother and you have always and will always hold the most special place in my heart. You were the best of the best. I know your mom moved a billion spirits to get to you and I know you are with her and your dad now. Love forever, Carolyn
I pray for strength and peace for your children, Robert. I pray they feel your love and presence through this difficult time and forever. I pray that they’re always confident in the knowledge that you’re not gone, that, it’s more like you’re just in the other room, and that you can hear them and if they listen, the can hear you too.
Even so, you may miss seeing his face or Hearing his laugh. Whatever it is you will miss, you’ll miss it a lot. And always. And for that, you have my deepest condolences.
Love and light,
Kerry Siddhartha (Ned)
Rest Well Rob, it was pleasure knowing you for our short lived time meeting each other. You were always pleasant and friendly. My Sincere condolences to your family, friends, and loved ones
Robert was family and a true friend, who was always a significant part of our small extended family. My heart is broken; I’ll cherish our memories. My condolences go out to his family, children, and friends that he leaves behind. Sending love and prayers; I’m here if you need anything at all.
Rob, I can’t believe I’m here writing this. Thirty years of friendship and a lifetime of memories that I will always cherish. You will never be forgotten . I’m glad you’re now at peace back with your mom and dad ❤️ love sam
Robert, Words cannot express how heartbroken we all are that you were taken so early.
Eternal rest Grant to him , O Lord,and let perpetual light shine upon him.
I hope when you see Uncle Frank , you remember “When you’re right, you’re right”
Love , Aunt Joanie ❤️
I’m sorry to everyone who is hurting right now. I’m thinking of you and his family, especially his children. I pray that they read this one day and know how loved he was.
Sometimes we try to sum someone up by the last chapter… the last season… the last moment.
But the breadth of a person’s life isn’t where it ended. It’s how it began, how they loved, how they showed up, and everything in between. He always showed up for me.
A life is not a single snapshot. It’s a whole story.
It’s the early days that shaped them. I think of them often and fondly. The laughter people still hear when they think of them. The way they made others feel safe (always), seen, or simply less alone. The times they tried again. The times they gave more than they had. The quiet goodness that didn’t need an audience.
Were there imperfections? Of course. We’re human.
But here’s what I know: even when things looked messy, the root of all goodness was still there. And that’s what matters most to me.
So I refuse to let the ending be the only thing people remember. I’m choosing to remember the whole person: the light, the love, the effort, the heart. He was special. We all know it.
Because a soul can be wounded and still be good, a life can be complicated and still be beautiful.
And in the end… goodness matters. Love matters. The beginning matters. The “in-between” matters.
That’s the story I’m holding onto. That’s the man I’m holding onto.

This is such an amazing message. I love it and thank you so much for saying what you did. It’s all so true. “We are all human”. Rob was like a brother to me. So many good times. I’ll focus on them. To say what you wrote, is thoughtful, inspirational and just wholesome, is an understatement. I cried reading it to be honest. Like hard cried. Thank you so much. So well said/written.
Robert,
I was so obsessed with you when I was a kid! You were truly a light and SO fun to be around. I can’t believe this happened. You were taken away too soon. I love you! I know your parents are up in heaven hugging and kissing you right now and forever. Watch over monty ♡
I will always be praying for your children.
Rest in paradise,
Sarina

Rob, May God bless you in Heaven! May he also Bless the family that is here!
I miss those handball and Raquetball days!
RIP my friend!!!
Rob was the type of kid you knew you’d like from the very beginning.
He was respectful, thoughtful, and kind. There wasn’t anything he wouldn’t do for you. We shared many fun times with friends and family. Great memories were made.
Thank you Rob for being the type of kid you were.
Condolences to his wife, boys, grandparents and others touched by his love.
Heaven has another angel.

I was fortunate to know Rob when he was still just a teenager in the 1990’s. Even then, as someone who was 7-8 years older than him, it was easy for me to recognize that he was mature beyond his years. He was respectful, caring, overly generous, and very “quick witted” with his humor in all my experiences with him. I will always think of Rob with a smile on my face because there was so much to love about him. He will be sorely missed by so many of us. My wife Raissa and I would to send our deepest prayers and condolences to Rob’s beautiful family. God bless!!
Sincerely,
Jimmy Vivona
