R.I.P My Dear Friend & Karoke buddy... I'll always treasure our friendship... Until we meet again.. You'll always be in my heart 

I am so very sorry for your loss.  Please know you will all be in my thoughts and prayers...God bless you.

I met Rob on SingSnap which seems like ages ago (2009), we became fast friends and continued on Facebook with that friendship.
He was such a kind, caring sweet man...I adored him.
He will be missed by so many people who loved him.
My thought and prayers are with Christy and the entire family.

I am so sorry for y'alls loss of a good man. Although I never met him in person, we we're metal detecting buddies on Facebook and hoped one day we would get to hang out. I will miss him dearly.

Rob came to my rescue on Singsnap. I was about to give up learning how to work the recorder. A friendly message came from out of nowhere. Explaining how to do it. 
Bless his heart’ he had patience of an Angel. 
We became friends.  We exchanged our stories on our heart health conditions.  I joined FB, one of the first friends to request to be my friend. 
If he didn’t see me on Singsnap or FB … there was always a message asking if I was okay. 
Even gave me his number incase I need someone to talk too.  What a blessing he was to me. 
I’m very grateful’ the Lord blessed me with a true friend. He’ll be missed dearly. 

Met Rob in 5th grade at Jamestown elementary.  Hit it off and have been friends ever since. Many good memories . RIP my good friend. I'll find some fresh road kill  in your memory.  Alan Portis.

I called him Wobert and he called me Partice. We were part of the best group of NAPA employees at 002. But we were friends outside of work too. 
He will be missed every day.

Robert you will be missed by so many!!
You always brought joy and happiness to all those around you !!! I believe you are singing in that heavenly choir!!! It is hard to believe that you are gone but my friend you will never be forgotten!!! I will see you on the other side 

Heaven gained a sweet and wonderful man, Rob always had a kind word, go rest in the presents of God until we meet again Rob.   

Rob and I go way back to Paltalk. He was a frequent flyer in my singing room where I was the moderator. We were supposed to meet several times when I drove through NC. Unfortunately, each time, we kept missing each other.  That was the topic our last conversation together. Not only have I lost a dear friend,  so has the world. He was so kind to everyone. My heart goes out to his family and good friends. RIP my dear friend. We shall meet in Heaven. 

Robert and I were friends for many many years, he was a great person,funny  and a honor to know.God speed ya ol koot

Robert and I were in the 2nd grade together at Jamestown Elementary, Miss Jones class.  He was a life long friend.  Over the last several years, we would celebrate our birthdays together, since I am one day older than Rob, going out to eat all the stuff we weren't supposed to.  
We talked about every other day and I'm really going to miss my pal.  He was one of the most positive people I have ever known.

I worked with Rob at Auto Parts & Acc. years ago. He was an alround great guy. Always enjoyed seeing him. Deepest sympathies for the family.

Met Rob on facebook.  He was so good at making me laugh! With his crazy comments. Wish I could have known him!   
Cristy and family my thoughts and prayers are with you during this very sad time in your lives.
