I knew Rob as a customer. He was a gruff, kinda guy, but always very fair and honest and an excellent resource for the work he did. He always spoke very lovingly of his wife stating on occasion that she deserved better. From our talks, it was obvious that he was a man who loved family, and family included his pets, especially his dog Duke. He was very crushed when Duke passed away and an animal lover myself. I could definitely understand how he felt. 

My best story about Rob is one that I can’t share the picture of, but it simply goes like this.  I met Rob I think it was Manchester and I had my niece with me. He had agreed to meet with me on a purchase of a jukebox to make sure that I was getting a good deal and that it was something that he could work with. And the only picture I have of Rob is a picture, is a picture my niece took of him smiling when he was bending over checking out the inside of that jukebox.  I shared that picture with him and Rob being Rob, thought it was a great picture. He could definitely laugh at himself. He commented that it was probably one of his better pictures.

My sincerest condolences to his family. It’s hard to let someone go that you love. I took care of my ex-husband in my home for a year and a half when he was diagnosed with terminal cancer and it’s a hard thing to watch. You’re fine that you have to be strong for him because it’s a scary journey be on.

Shirley, I look forward to meeting you at the funeral.  

Rob I can't believe you're not here anymore I'm grateful God took you home so quickly and wasn't that painful but it was definitely unexpected you're my best buddy you always were there to help me out with anything I needed from fixing my car or my lawn mower to just listen to me rant and rave. I'll always cherish the time we got to share together especially the last month or two. You always had a smart ass joke for me and made me laugh and you were so generous with your time helping me fix all the things I was unable to fix. You are gone but you will never be forgotten my friend. Until I see you again on the other side. I'll see you soon my friend hold the seat for me we'll have a drink and a toast and look back and laugh at all the stupid shit we did in this lifetime and all the wonderful things we did in this lifetime. You'll be forever missed in my hot and soul I love you my brother. And my condolences to your family I'll always be here for your daughter she needs anything you know that. Until we see each other again brother love always Mark Amico 207-459-8780
