Rob and I bonded over our love for the Chicago Cubs and Chicago sports in general. As next door neighbors for the past six years, we commiserated over the Cubs missing the playoffs, again, or how we got excited over the Bears’ promising start then lamented how they fumbled away another season. He knew his sports and it was always a pleasure talking to him.

Rob and Sheila, pillars of the KT community, were staunch proponents of veterans causes and the KT Veterans Group. The annual Veterans Day Pancake Breakfast, catered by the Magnolia Pancake Haus, was eagerly anticipated and widely attended by KT residents and guests. This annual event generated close to $40,000 in donations to various veterans organizations.

Rob leaves a lasting legacy of service. His loss is felt not only by his loved ones, but by the entire KT community. He will sorely be missed.

Neil and I are both broken hearted. Rob was not only a great neighbor but a good friend...we saw him as a good husband and father...a great grandfather, always generous to the community,  with a good soul ...

...God Bless you all

Dear Sheila and family,

Rob will always be part of the heart of our Kissing Tree Community…May our Heavenly Father wrap his arms around you and bring you peace 🙏💙
