"Dear Jen and Hayden, My deepest sympathies on the loss of your husband and father. I worked on second shift with Rob at Schmidt Printing in Byron around 13 years ago. He was a terrific coworker and friend. As I was a newly hired employee, I very much appreciated Rob's kindness and willingness to help me. His friendly attitude and sense of humor made those long evening hours go by in no time. A friend and coworker of ours employed her zany creativity in Photoshop to remake a photo of Batman & Robin into a Patman and Robin poster, whereby she replaced the original faces with ours; I being Patman due to my first name, and of course, Rob being Robin. I still have it as a reminder of Rob's ability to see the humor in so many things, even when he was the target of our humor. He played along, giving us the gift of his humility, which was taught by his example.  He will be dearly missed by so many people. So many of us at Schmidt find it hard to believe he is gone. But he is definitely in our memories. May God be with you, Jen and Hayden, and comfort you during this most difficult time. Pat"

"I have the same job as Rob in Denver.  I didn't know him well, but when we met here in Denver for training meetings over the last few years, I found him to be a gentle, quiet soul with a sweet countenance.  When I looked at him and spoke with him, he was easy to love.  It was easy to see the light of Christ in his eyes.  I will miss him.  I will pray for the comfort of his family and friends."

"Those lucky enough to have faith in their creator can at least find a degree of solace knowing Rob has indeed returned to a better place. John recorded in the Book of Revelation a testament to this. In Chapter 20:4 is it says  And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. In the Book of Mormon, Alma 11: 44 provides additional insight to what John reveled. Now, this restoration shall come to all, both old and young, both bond and free, both male and female, both the wicked and the righteous; and even there shall not so much as a hair of their heads be lost; but every thing shall be restored to its perfect frame, as it is now, or in the body, and shall be brought and be arraigned before the bar of Christ the Son, and God the Father, and the Holy Spirit, which is one Eternal God In Alma 40:11-12 we can gain even greater assurance of the transformation to this new life. 11 Now, concerning the state of the soul between death and the resurrectionBehold, it has been made known unto me by an angel, that the spirits of all men, as soon as they are departed from this mortal body, yea, the spirits of all men, whether they be good or evil, are taken home to that God who gave them life. 12 And then shall it come to pass, that the spirits of those who are righteous are received into a state of happiness, which is called paradise, a state of rest, a state of peace, where they shall rest from all their troubles and from all care, and sorrow. Years ago Sister Mary Brigh Cassidy, administrator of Saint Marys hospital in Rochester MN said I believe in Gods master plan in lives. He moves people in and out of others lives, and each leaves his mark on the other. You will find you are made up of bits and pieces of all who ever touched your life and you are more because of it, and you would be less if they had not touched you. Rob appears to have been a praiseworthy example of someone who demonstrated the last sentence of this quote. No truer words could be applied to Rob and no greater legacy could ever be left by him. Please take some time to reflect on how Rob touched each of you. May each of you be blessed with the peace of our Savior. Because of the time of year your loss may in some ways be more difficult in the future. However because of what happened at this time over two thousand years ago you will continue to feel a degree of peace and joy as well. "

"Jen and Hayden: I couldn't express it better than Janet Major's post.  You ARE an eternal family, and possess that faith that will see you through.  Our love to you both. Ecclesiastes 3:1-8.  You will dance again, and those of us who remain need you to."

"Good photo of Rob. It reminds me of the guitar he had in California which he said he was going to "do a Jimi Hendrix" to before he went home. I don't recall if it ever happened. Jennifer, you and Hayden have my heartfelt sympathies and my prayers. May God bless you both and help you heal."

"I express my deepest sympathy to the family for this loss. Rob has been an exemplary employee. I did not get as much individual time with him when he would come to Denver for meetings, but when I came to Rochester to visit or to do a PAR (Performance Appraisal Review), we were able to spend more individual time together.  I have been able to feel close to his family as he shared information and memories. He kept all the files and project books up to date and in fantastic order. It was an honor to know and associate with Rob."

It totally breaks my heart to know this, and to have not gotten to know him as a close relative that I had desired."
