I was soo shocked when I heard about rob. I had always enjoyed his inspection visits to the job sites. My deepest sympathy goes out to the family of rob. Very sad to hear this news. He sure will be missed. Des.

Rob was a great guy with a wonderful smile that could light up a room. I always enjoyed working with him and will miss him. My thoughts and prayers to the family.

Dear Judy and Meghan,
We want you to know that your beloved husband and Daddy was a wonderful person and good friend to all he met.  He was particularly kind to our daughter Stephanie when she helped out with giving out programs at Hidden Treasures.  Please know that you will always have a big loving family in the Down Syndrome Society.  It was a real pleasure and joy to share some special time with Rob in those last days at Freeport. We hope in time the wonderful memories will lesson your pain.  Rob will be sadly missed by all who knew him. Valerie Nunn, Gord Burnett, Stephanie and Emily

Our sincerest sympathies to the Martin family on the loss of Rob. We are sure that the memories of such a fine and  gentle young man will be an ongoing comfort to all.

Dear Judy-It has been years since I have seen either you or Rob. I remember Rob so well as we were the same age and went to school together. He was always so funny and kind. Please accept my heartfelt condolences for your loss-Your Friend from Kap-Darren Bonk

Dear Meghan and Judy....

Although the lovely service/tribute to Rob earlier this week is over, we want you to know that we are thinking of you both.  Rob was someone we will remember for his kind-heartedness, his winning smile and his love for and devotion to the two of you.  We will miss him but will keep him in our hearts.  May you find comfort in your memories of him in the coming days.

Dear Judy & Meghan
Our deepest sympathy to you both and to Rob's family. I will remember Rob each early Saturday morning when he would arrive to set up tables for our apple dumpling sales on the market.  No matter how early or how cold the weather was, he greeted me with his beautiful smile. He is missed.

Judy & Meghan

Please accept our sincere condolences at this time of loss. While we did not know Rob well, we did know him as a friendly, always smiling, proud father and tireless volunteer at Wesley United. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.

Dear Judy and Meaghan:
Rob and Meaghan have sat in front of me for years at Wesley.  I have gotten to know both of them so well and we have shared many little laughs together.  I never seen a father's face light up like Rob's did when he looked at you, Meaghan. He was a special man and a great Dad.  We will all miss him terribly at Wesley church. 
With deepest sympathies,
Linda Serbu

Cheryl and I offer our sincerest condolences to both Judy and Meghan.  We will remember Rob as a proud and caring father sitting with little Meghan on the aisle near the front of Wesley United and beaming when she lit the candle ...

Judy and Megan our prayers are with you. Rob's smile always made the day brighter at the City of Waterloo and he will be truly missed.

Dear Judy and Meghan
My sincere sympathy and condolences to you, Meghan and family.  I had the great pleasure to work with Rob at KMK Consultants.  Rob was a great person, always smiling.  His family was very important, especially his daughter Meghan.
My thoughts and prayers to you and Meghan during this very difficult time.  I wish you and Meghan strength.
Sincerely, Victoria

Judy & Meghan, I can't express in words the loss you are both feeling.  We met Rob and Meghan when they joined our Blastball team many years ago.  Rob's love for fun and his sense of humour will stay dear in our hearts as we remember him.

Judy and Meghan;
Please accept our condolences and know we hold you both in our prayers. We remember Rob's smiling face and appreciate your whole family's best ever neighbourly care of Mom and Dad. More than just friends you will always be a part of our family. We share your sense of loss and pray sweet memories will soon crowd out the sadness you feel right now. All our love, Karen & Bill.

Rob was such a pleasure to work with.  His smiling face, every time he came in to visit made the day so much brighter.  Always willing to help without a sigh or complaint, Rob will be remembered with a smile on my face.  My sincere condolences to the family.

Rob was a true Gentleman and Friend who will always be missed and remembered.

Judy & Meghan,  I can  not express in words the loss you must feel, Rob was a great co-worker but every time we talked about families Rob's face would light up and he would talk about how proud and happy he was.  I wish you all the best in what must be a very difficult time.

Condolences

Judy & Meghan, I was lucky enough to get to know Rob through his time at Wesley.  A man who showed how much he cared by rolling up his sleeves and pitching in.  

I do not pretend to know what the future lies for any of us, but, I do know that my past is better because I was able to get to know Rob.

May the memory of him and the good stories that people will share with you sustain you in the days ahead.

Dear Judy and Meghan.  Rob was a great guy and father with "Mighty Meghan".  His laughter, wit, sense of humour and presence at Sports for Special Athletes events will certainly be missed, but always remembered.  We send BIG hugs and our best wishes for your support in your time of need and loss.  Your friends are here to help.  Mike, Sue & Kevin Simpson

Dear Judy and Meghan,
We just want to offer our sincere sympathy to you and your family on the loss of our friend Robert.  We really appreciated his care for us as neighbours - snow blowing our sidewalk.  What a blessing.  We will miss his smiling face.  We will be praying for you as you walk through this deep sorry.  We are here for you.
Blessings
Your neighbours - Ivan and Donna Preston

Fear no more the heat of the sun,
Nor the furious winter's rages;
Thou thy worldly task hast done,
Home art gone, and taken thy wages.
Golden lads and girls all must,
As chimney sweepers, come to dust.
Fear no more the frown of the great;
Thou art past the tyrant's stroke.
Care no more to clothe and eat;
To thee the reed is as the oak.
The sceptre, learning, physic, must
All follow this and come to dust.
                                                       Cymbeline 4.2.261

Dear Judy and Meghan,
We offer our sincere sympathy and condolences to you both and to your extended family in the sad loss of your beloved husband and father. Rob was a fine gentleman and a good friend at Wesley United, always willing to lend a hand and lovingly participating with Meghan in Church School and the Vacation Bible School in July. Rob knew how much Meghan looked forward to learning action songs and crafts with the other children. Rob's help with selling apple dumplings and pies on Saturdays and his easiness with people will long be remembered, as will his positive attitude and ready smile. He is sorely missed.
Love,

Judy & Meghan

Nothing can be said to lessen the great sorrow and grief you are experiencing with the loss of your husband and father. It was very evident to us that he loved you both a great deal and was so thrilled to have Meghan as his daughter.  He was always smiling and beaming for her every accomplishment. He had a father's twinkle in his eye for his little girl. Although he will no longer be with you in person his presence will be with both of you as you journey forward in the days, weeks and years ahead.  He will still be smiling and have the twinkle in his eye for every challenge you overcome and every accomplishment you succeed at. Gone from mortal life to a heavenly abode. 
 
We now turn our prayers for you both that you may find the strength, love and support of famiy and friends to begin a new journey as a family of two. Rob is always there in your hearts & memories.
