So sad to read of Rob's passing. I am Mark, the son of Bill Marosek (Charleston Utd soccer team : green-and-white stripes) who looked up to Rob. Only 11 years old in 1976 when I met Rob playing for my Dad's team. Great player, cheeky character, so much fun to be around. We travelled from Scotland to be at your wedding when I was 16. My deepest sympathy to you. His smile will always be remembered.

I was so sorry to hear the sad news about Rob, we first met at Woodcroft Primary School when we were four years old and spent many happy times all the way through senior school. I remember his good sense of humour and his skill on the piano. My deepest sympathy and condolences to the family.

Although i had not seen Rob for years i remember many happy times as friends growing up on Spur Road estate and attending Spur Road school at the same time. I often caught up with Robs news through mutual friends in London and was shocked to hear the sad news. My deepest sympathy to his family at this time.

I just read this quotation by Thomas Wolfe and thought of Rob
" There are some people who have the quality of richness and joy in them and they communicate it to everything they touch . It is first of all a physical quality ; then it is a quality of the spirit "

Although it is many years (1976) since we last met I will always remember Rob and Susan's kindness and generosity to me. I was so shocked to learn of Robs passing in such tragic circumstances. I'm so glad that we were recently able to hook up again via the internet.
I send you my love and prayers at this very difficult time.

Rob could make a cloudy day sunny with his genuine warmth and charm. He was one of those rare people whose mere presence made people happy to be alive.
My heart goes out to his family for their tragic loss, and also to

Met Rob on the first Hunger Games and we were instant friends. He would climb into my Stakebed everyday and have something amusing to say. He cared about people, how they were doing, and their family too. He looked out for people and some never knew it. Rob and Susan treated my family like family, memories we will have forever. You have a bunch of teamster brothers and sisters that miss you Rob!

One of the first people I met in the film industry, (G I Jane) we worked together on many productions. Always a great guy that you could depend on to get along with everyone. When we worked together in Asheville I needed a cast driver for Woody H, he was my first thought, what a great person to be around. A great loss to the world, a true friend. And so sad cause his family was always his first thought. I will miss Rob like no other, and so sorry for his family!

What an amazing person! I've worked with Rob over the years, last year here in Asheville. He was a true friend and Teamster brother. His personality was electrifying, along with his sense of humor. He just loved life. His family was his everything, always wanting to be with them, driving home on the weekends or having them come here to camp or anything that they may want to do. My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time. It's so heartbreaking. I feel truly blessed to have met such a man. He will be missed! "RIP Rob at God speed"!

I first met Rob on The Notebook. That smile and cheerful outlook was encountered on many films afterwards. You couldn't not like Rob. He made a bright spot in an otherwise hard day.
I miss him sorely now. No longer bicycling past my work room to smile at me and wish me a good day. I still expect to see him. Rob, you are missed.
