Rob was a long-time client of the J. Arthur Trudeau Center. From Cub Scouts to recreation

programs to Workshop to group home and finally Shared Living, Trudeau was a huge part of

met Tara and Joe, the best friends he’d ever have.

Rob had such an infectious smile. It was so genuine it lit up the room. He had a great sense of

humor and loved seeing the reaction his actions had on others.
