Rob has always loved the out of doors and felt most at home in the mountains. He loved hunting, fly fishing and hiking up any mountain available. He had an eye for beauty and loved to photograph wild life and scenery. He loved animals and cared for many throughout his life including tortoises, a chameleon, lizards, and dogs. He was a truck driver by trade and was a very hard worker.

Rob was a loving husband and caring father and grandpa. He was a friend to everyone he met. He preferred to stay in the background, quietly helping anyone in need. His greatest joy came from doing service for others. He will be greatly missed.
