I only met Rob one or two times when visiting the home with Chloe, but I always admired their closeness. If only every little girl in the world had a dad that looked at her that way. No words can ease this type of grief, and I am thinking of you and holding you from afar Chlo&family.

I am so very sorry for this huge loss. Babysitting Rob and Rachel's children "back in the day" was such a delight, in part because their house in west Berkeley was so full of love and fun. Rob was kind to everyone, including me. I am lucky to have known him. Blessings to your large extended family during this time.
