We were very sad to hear about Rob’s passing. We have such fond memories of you Arlene and Rob when we lived in Mesa these many years back. Though we have lost contact with you guys over the years we consider you still dear friends. We love you and pray for you in your time of sorrow. We would love to come to the service but are full time in the Gila Valley Temple and are unable to come. Rob was always smiling and fun loving. He helped us build our first home, you are both such dear friends. He will be missed so much by your family I’m sure. Our love to all of you, cal and Susan.
It was a pleasure to have know Rob and family when we came to Gilbert in 1985. His service on Gilbert Council and shaping the future of the community was deeply appreciated by all.
Our sincere sympathy to the family. We will surely miss the Tremaine Street Carnival cotton-candy man.
