Robbie’s remembrance gathering at my sisters was good to see friends family and acquaintances of his over the years…he will be missed by us all!
Something we should have put in his article was his knowledge of cars! He loved cars and I’m not sure how extensive his knowledge was but he could tell you alot about them!
Rob,
I first met Rob in ‘91. I was working at a wholesale distributor and he was working at Quality RV. Our Friendship has survived over the years and I have so many memories of him from our love for Cher, RV Parts, Scotch, and everything between. We were each others plus one for many things through out our friendship. I have many memories with him.
I helped him move his Black Lacquer bedroom set once. It was the heaviest thing I have ever lifted. I told him if he moves again he needed to call movers because I would never lift that crap again. We went through all of our different relationships together and no matter what we were always there for each other.
Many trips to the Nevada Border for a great time, many times to the bar to dance and make sure he made it home okay.
After his stroke we didn’t see each other as much as we should have, but when we did we picked up right where we left off.
I have so many great memories with him and will cherish them all.
Rest in peace my friend, love you forever.

Rob, I met you at the Paper Moon. You came to my karaoke shows and added such a needed zest to my shows. Getting up on stage and making a fool of yourself was beneath your classy style. Rather, you were a behind the scenes salty heckler with such an amazing humor and wit. This world has lost a class act and a dear soul but the world beyond this one has gained something truly special. When the changes of the time separated us you made sure to stay in touch with me over the years. You have been a true friend. I will deeply miss you.
I love Robbie! Despite his problems, he always had a fun sense of humor! Many, many times he brightened my day with his funny Facebook posts! I will miss Robbie and his posts on Facebook!
Another funny memory was when Robbie came to denver to visit when he was around 16 and he hid in the closet while i was turning off all the lights and shutting the doors and the bi-fold closet door was slightly open and i couldnt shut it then i looked up and saw eyes looking at me thru the crack in the door and he started laughing and i was giving him some fist punches and that was probably the most scared i have ever been.
One of my favorite memories is when Robbie-Bob was around 6-8 years old and he would squeal when he saw a hub cap on the side of the road and they would pull over and get it for him. then he would line them up on the grass and he put a for sale sign by them but they were all laying down flat so the passers by didnt see them.
