Today you would have turned 62. I’ve been thinking about you all morning—Time keeps moving, but the space you left never really closes. 
I wish I could celebrate this day with you in person, but instead I celebrate you in memory—your humor, your stubbornness, your kindness, your overwhelming knowledge of "stuff". You’re still my brother, still part of my life, still loved beyond measure. Happy heavenly birthday. I hope you know how deeply you’re missed, and how fiercely you’re remembered.

cheers!

Rob, my dear friend! We miss you.
We wish you all the best on your birthday, wherever you are celebrating it. Today, we would be the same age again, 62 years old☺️.
Take care🤙. We'll see you sometime...
Rudolf & family

i cant make this up.  i know you were with me  when this picture came thru with the balloon distorted after we shared a drink with you.

love you so much miss you every day

We visited you on your birthday and brought you your favorite beer and my favorite wine. 

Then Steve and I toasted to you by taking a sip and pouring some of the beer to share with you ( see next pic)

Happy birthday !
why? still why ?

love you always and forever

So painful still.
Hope you were able to get in a full 18 on your new walk.
I love you and miss you everyday

Last memory was when we shared a beer early May.  Rob was such in great spirit sure do miss that guy.

Rob taught my dog Penny to sit in the kitchen while he hid her treats around the house, then he would let her go to hunt them down and he got the biggest kick out of watching her find all of his hiding spots, to this day she won’t let me leave in the morning until I hide her treats for her. We both miss ya buddy rest in peace

In memory and honor of our dear friend Rob.
On April 25, 2015, we had our last meeting here in Berlin and as fate would have it, I am back in Berlin today on the anniversary of his death and I am very happy to remember our time together 😉 R.I.P.

See You Again - Song from Wiz Khalifa
It's been a long day without you, my friend
And I'll tell you all about it when I see you again
We've come a long way from where we began
Oh, I'll tell you all about it when I see you again
When I see you again
Damn, who knew?
All the planes we flew, good things we been through
That I'd be standing right here talking to you
'Bout another path, I know we loved to hit the road and laugh
But something told me that it wouldn't last
Had to switch up, look at things different, see the bigger picture
Those were the days, hard work forever pays
Now I see you in a better place 
How can we not talk about family when family's all that we got?
Everything I went through, you were standing there by my side
And now you gon' be with me for the last ride
It's been a long day without you, my friend
And I'll tell you all about it when I see you again (I'll see you again)
We've come a long way (yeah, we came a long way)
From where we began (you know we started)
Oh, I'll tell you all about it when I see you again (I'll tell you)
When I see you again
First, you both go out your way and the vibe is feeling strong
And what's small turned to a friendship, a friendship turned to a bond
And that bond will never be broken, the love will never get lost
(The love will never get lost)
And when brotherhood come first, then the line will never be crossed
Established it on our own when that line had to be drawn
And that line is what we reached, so remember me when I'm gone
(Remember me when I'm gone)
How can we not talk about family when family's all that we got?
Everything I went through you were standing there by my side
And now you gon' be with me for the last ride
So let the light guide your way, yeah
Hold every memory as you go
And every road you take
Will always lead you home, home
It's been a long day without you, my friend
And I'll tell you all about it when I see you again!


We were all shocked and so sad..
It`s exactly 50 years ago, that Iris did a student  exchange  and that´s how our friendship began. Your first  visit to Germany was in 1980 and so many visits followed with allmost all family members  .These  are wonderful memories in Europe and America too.
You will stay in our hearts forever!
Love, 
Kathi, Gabi and Werner, Iris and Appi with Maximilian and Florian, Andrea with Katharina and Philipp


I can´t believe it and im still shocked. I got to knew Rob through my dad. He was a very good friend of my dad and of my whole family also. Everytime Rob was in Germany me and my brothers had so much fun with him. We have always tried many sports games and Rob was our teacher. After my bachelor's degree i visited rob for the first (and last...) time in California. San Jose, San Franciso, Santa Monica, Yosemite-Nationalpark, several visits to golf courses, etc. - the list of activities is long.  In conclusion I would like to say that this trip was my best so far - maybe forever...
Take care of you my friend! 
Moritz and the Klapdohr Family from Germany

We met at the Gunkel family in the early 80's and had an incredibly fun family vacation in Spain. Whenever you were in Germany we met up. During your last visit I promised, that I would give up smoking. You hated it so much. Now I have kept my promise and you won't experience a smoke-free Essi anymore. 
One day we will meet again and swim through foreign pools at night. I am so sad. I wish you peace and fulfillment.  So long...


I got to know Rob on a trip to Spain in 1982. Regardless of the fact that Rob was only 5 days younger than me, our similar stories and experiences as children also allied us on this holiday.  This was followed by an intensive pen pal, which reduced the wide spatial distance between us. Whenever possible, we visited each other. Also our honeymoon to California, you had sweetened us with some surprises. We always had a lot of fun together and I will miss you Rob very much. One day, however, we will meet again, I'm sure...   
Until then, do it well, wherever you are 

Rudolf, Gabi & family

I wanted to reach out to everyone who shared their love and memories of Rob with our family through this site, at his service, and during the celebration of life with more stories afterward. 
You have all touched our hearts by sharing a piece of our brother  we did not know (except for the wine part), in a way we can never THANK YOU all enough.  For those of you who could not make it, please know we appreciate your calls, cards, and prayers.  In our hearts, we believe he is in a better place.  Hug your families a little tighter every day.  Life changes in an instant. Love to all

I knew Rob from Del Mar and we had some awesome times.  Couple years later I was helping open up a family shop in Maui and in comes walking Rob, sun bleached hair, no shirt and totally tanned, it was a wonderful surprise and great relief since I knew no one.  Kevin Johnston, Susha and me would hang out on the corner of my shop eating ice cream shaved ice nearly every afternoon. Local five-o pulled up on once told us to keep moving since it was an area known for buying dakine. The look on their faces when I told them this was my shop, we just busted up laughing. I’m glad we got to reconnect have beers and talk stories. I will truly miss you and never forget you Rob, I wish you didn’t leave us so soon. May you rest in eternal peace. Love you my brother 

I met Rob when I was in 7th grade at Monroe. He flew in and out of my life, but it always felt like no time had passed when we got together. I'm sorry I didn't make more time to get together with him.  This was the one of the times we got together in 2018.   I wish I had taken a picture every time.  Deepest condolences to the Susha family.

Rob and I spent a lot of time in the last couple of years together and this comes as a shock, Rob was the most adventurous person I knew and adored his time outside, we did some memorable road trips recently and enjoyed the time together, he left too soon and will be dearly missed. My sincere condolences go out to his family.

I am deeply saddened. Sincere condolences to the entire Susha family. I have such great memories and good times with Rob. He, like many other loved ones, left us way too soon. RIP Rob and cheers to you, Cindy

This is truly a shock. I have known Rob since the 4th grade at Monroe Elementary. We spent many great memories together. Way to many to mention. Just saw him last year at our old Tahoe home. So glad to see him.May God be with his spirit and guide him to a good place. So sorry we did not spend more time together in our later life. Lots of love your way brother. You will be truly missed.🙏🙏❤️🍻👊🏻💔🥀Chris Davis
