Dear Leslie and family, I am so sorry to hear of Rob's passing. I met in him the leadership academy last year and enjoyed his company and his laughter. He was a great man and a true gentleman. I never knew he was sick which to me says a lot about him that he did not let cancer define him, he lived HIS life.

My best memory of Rob is when he drove the van carrying our daughters with parents on the 8 th grade trip to DC. He patiently answered all of our questions about US history while navigating the city.  He was a wonderful role model as a father and husband and a genuinely kind and caring man. He will be greatly missed by all.
