Jax, today marks 6 months since you have left us but I still feel your presence every day. I have become one of fourths in the group lol I know that would have made you proud. Although I miss that smirk daily, your smart witted humor which kept me constantly laughing and the way you made me feel in such a short span of time I will always hold all those fond memories in my heart always and forever!! of course your famous line at work I will never forget "coming around" you left your legacy for us all to share with one another. I am pleased to still feel so close to you through the DNA group that has taken me under their wing and shown me strength each day. Missing your face

Paul, Maxine and James
Over the years we had the opportunity to watch Robert grow up from our front window.  We watched as he and James played catch each spring and ball hockey every fall.  We saw the boys play with their new dog, Purdy.  And we watched Robert bring our newspaper and start to drive.  We are so sorry for your loss and hope your memories can help you get through this difficult time.
Catherine, Dave and Family

Robert, 
The Lord has been watching for you.  He knew why he brought you to this world. 
For every person you were to touch was your mission.  Not to be a firefighter or an astronaut but to touch as many souls with your innocence, troubles & doubt of who you are.  
Your job is done.  You succeeded in your mission in life.  
Rest my friend.  Your family and friends will miss you.  You are a lamp to this world and the lord has a special place for you.

I wish I had said something to James, with whom I went to grade school, and Maxine, who gave me the bad news, and Paul, who gave a lovely speech at the Celebration. I just didn't know what to say that could make you feel better. But after hearing all that Paul and James had to say about Robert, I'm sorry I didn't get to know him better. I'm sure I'd be a better person for having been closer to him.

I'm so very sorry for your loss my friend. Please accept my deepest sympathy. Thoughts and prayers with you and family at this difficult time.

Hi Robbie,  What a shock you have given us all. A very sad day but you are only a heartbeat away, God Bless and rest in peace, Love you always Nan Muriel xxx

So saddened by this news. Jackson [as some of us called him] was a sweet spirit. It was a pleasure to know him. God rest his soul. My condolences to his family and all fellow friends. Keep the Angels happy J.

Please accept my heartfelt sympathy; I am so sorry for your great loss. May the God who "binds up the broken-hearted" and "comforts all who mourn" sustain your family during this difficult time. Isaiah 61:1,2.

I had the pleasure of getting to know Rob a bit through the years and I will always remember him for his quick witted humour and a smile that could brighten even the gloomiest of days.

Buddy. I can't believe you're gone... we spent a few good years together the four of us. I'll miss our wing nights and your constant blurting of random things. Grateful for being able to spend time with you on your last night on earth. You were the happiest I've ever seen you. I'm one of the lucky ones... I got one last hug... til we meet again... my sincerest condolences to the family and friends.

We are so sorry to hear of your very sad loss. Our thoughts are with you. Jane & Andy

Thinking of your family through this difficult time.  Remembering the times the 'crazy crew' got together over the years, your brother always came out to join us.  Very pleasant and kind person. I am in shock and with great sadness will miss him. 

"Those we love don't go away.  They walk beside us everyday. Unseen, Unheard but always near, still loved, still missed and very dear...."

Our sincere condolences from the Oosman family....

I didn't know you well Robert, but I grew up with your brother James. Ran the same streets, climbed the same school stairs everyday. You will be greatly missed all the same. RIP Angel.

Very sorry to hear of Rob's passing.  I didn't know him well but having grown up with his older brother he brought a special feeling that only a brother could give. He will be very much missed.  Our thoughts are with you. xoxo

Paul, Maxine and James - as your neighbours for close to fourty years our hearts ache for what you are going through.  We watched Robert grow from a babe in your arms to a respectful young man who will be greatly missed.  Our sincere condolences.

So shocked to hear of your death, your my lovely cousin and even though we haven't seen each other in many years, you will still be in my heart . Thinking of auntie Max, uncle Paul and James at this sad time. Love you cuz Cathy (and family) xxx

Can James & Robert come out and play? I will never forget those days of a young Robert chasing James around on the rinks and up and down Spruce Street as children. My heartfelt condolences to James, Maxine and Paul.  Rest in Peace Rob, you will be missed.

Thinking of the family in this time of sorrow. . Sending thoughts and prayers and all my love.  I have many fond memories of Robert.  I will keep them always close to my heart forever. Rob was truly one of a kind. He could light up a room with just his presence. RIP Rob. Soar with the angels. Xo

Rob, we grew up together, played soccer together, caused mayhem together, went to the skatepark together. I haven't touched base with you in a long time mate. But every time we ran into each other, it was like we hadn't lost touch. I'll miss you man.

Safe Travels Jacks old buddy, I'm sure we'll meet again

Deeply saddened by Roberts passing, my heart felt condolences to Maxine, Paul and James. Have many fond memories of those great footballing years when the boys played together.

I didn't know you well, but I'll remember you just the same, and keep a place for you at my table, wherever it happens to be.

Rob, you will be missed but never forgotten.  There are so many memories from over the many years that will carry on.  I'm thankful for the times we had.  My deepest condolences to the Jackson family.  Wishing you strength during this very difficult time.  Robert and family, you will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Here's to the light you brought into my life. Love you jax

Boo boo, I'm almost lost for words,from the moment I met you I knew that you were a sweet special soul. A man who would lend a helping hand and give the shirt off his back to a friend in need. Always putting yourself in last place to put a smile on anothers face. Knowing you for the time I did I can't begin to explain how lucky I was. How lucky I was to be such great friends with an amazing man with the world's biggiest heart. Your presence I will feel everyday as that's all I am feeling now. I can feel you still with me watching over me every step of the way. I will be forever thankful that we spent such a memorable night together that I will hold dear in my heart forever. Jackson your my angel who I know will always protect me and guide me threw these trying times. I love you jax, please know the light you brought into my life. May the sun shine on your face, the wind be beneath your back and your soul rise up to the heavens above.
This is not goodbye because I know i will see you again, like you always said " this side or the other" 
R.I.P boo boo
