Many of you may not have known Rob very well… He and I were great friends for many years in school and right up to the time he was killed by a drunk Driver... Rob did not say much but when he did he could be one of the craziest guys I knew. He also loved life and was really looking forward to getting married, having a family and deciding what he wanted to do once he was through with the military. He talked about electronics and following in his Dads footprints as an electronics expert. I will never forget the feelings of shock, anger, dismay, the pain his family felt, and most of all, the gut-wrenching loss his Fiancée felt when she called me that evening to tell me about the accident. That next week was a week I hope never to have to go through again. Over the years I have thought about what he might have become had he not been yanked away so quickly. Rob, may your family and friends always be blessed, and I know that you are resting in peace!!!
I didn't hang out with Robert in High School. But I do have a fond childhood memory. In 6th grade he would always have candy. He used to tease me with it, like a carrot dangling there in front of me. I don't recall exactly how the little game even came about, but he wouldn't share his candy with me until I slugged him in the arm. Anyone who knew me back then knows that my "slug" couldn't have been very powerful, and sometimes he would make me do it again because it wasn't very hard. But he always laughed, rubbed his arm and then shared his candy with me.
I remember being in Junior College at the time of his death. My mother had subscribed to the Longmont Times Call for me while I was away to keep up with what was going on back home. When I read the Obituary and saw Roberts name there, I was shocked and saddened. I'm sure he would have been an asset to society. Too many of the good ones are lost far too young.
Rest in Peace, Robert. And I'll bring the candy next time.
