and he also liked to dabble in music, whether he was playing or trying to write something.
Rob was a college graduate from Durham college as a computer technician and often helped out
with that knowledge.
Rob will be sadly missed by everyone who knew him.
Private graveside funeral for the family will be held.

Rob was one of a kind he had so much love and kindness to share with anyone. Working with him at the motel was always a joy we shared a lot of great times and the love he had for cooking. I will miss you fly high my friend.
So sorry for your loss. Robbie left everybody smiling. Could light up a room for sure with his jokes and pranks. His smile will live on.
So sorry for your loss to everyone xo
Some of my favorite childhood memories are with you. I remember you babysitting me, and those times were the best! staying up late watching Saturday Night Live, eating way too much junk food, and laughing until my stomach hurt. You were always joking around putting me in the “small package” wrestling move and the “knee banger” torture are burned into my memory and probably to this day why I’m so flexible and why my knees hurt. I’ll never forget how handy you were, how your creativity showed up in everything you built, fixed, or played. You were always willing to help! Your heart was just as big as your smile. Thank you for the laughs and all the love. You will be greatly missed! Rest easy, Uncle Robbie
