One of my favorite moments was right at the beginning, December, 2003. As I always do, after I got hired, I asked him was there anything in particular that made me stand out amongst the rest. His reply was classic - "The moment you said, 'all you want to do is mail, all day long', you had the job." Thank you Rob for always believing in me and being there for me. Rest in Peace, father.. less
I miss my fishing buddy, my friend and my Casper's hot dog partner. Rob was a good man. Will miss him a lot. Always he was our friend and neighbor. With love and sadly, Ernie and Lisa
