Just found out about Rob Passing on. Even though we haven't talked for a long time ,this is very sad. We became friends in the 60's then life happend. My condolences go out to his family. I will always remember him as a real done to earth solid, sincere and thoughtfull friend. May God Comfort You.

I just found out 5 minutes ago.  

I am truly at a loss for words.    

Rob had a huge influence on me,   Not only as a friend but in my career.  His energy and generosity were only overshadowed by his huge heart.  

He will be sorely missed by me, and I wish we had made it out for that coffee a few weeks back.  

My greatest sympathies to all of Rob's family and friends.  He is missed, and will not be forgotten.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you on Valentines Day and always.Please accept our deepest sympathies.

RIP Rob, thank you so much for all the emotional support you gave me. You were a kind soul, always there for your friends and even me when I first met you, your shoulder to cry on, your resources that helped me be with family when I was so lost and needed to get to BC and be near loved ones.  You were so loved by many.  I will miss your DW ooopsss DD comments, they always made me chuckle  lol May your family find comfort in knowing how much you were loved and appreciated.  Love always from your "little sister"  lol

Our thoughts and prays go out to the Zerk family,

For us Rob was the first person that we met and invited us to a group of friends that we have shared some very pleasant times together, most often on our bikes. He was one of the most giving persons we ever met and always made us feel like family in a province we adopted some 6 years ago now. Rob, every time we ride, we will honour you with our minds and hearts. You will be sorely missed and we will cherish every smile you ever gave us! God Bless you fellow rider.

Jonny, Agita & Christian

Dear Don, Ruth and family,

My sympathies to all of you. Many memories of my life with Rob will always be cherished.  I hope he has found the peace that he couldn't find here.

With love, Cindy

Rob was a true friend  Where ever he showed up he had a smile that light up the room and presents that made everyone feel good .It truely is a sad day .Im 
So very sorry Jackie i know  he  loved you .God be with your family and friends as you go thruogh this time

Rob was there every time I needed a helping hand. Six years ago I was diagnosed with a severe health problem.Rob came straight to Edmonton from Calgary immediately when he found out,to offer me support, one of his bear hugs and to find out if he could complete any outstanding projects I had on the go. We worked together on many projects over the years, and I wish I had the chance, to have just one more. You will be missed my friend.

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief.  May your memories bring you comfort.

Rob will be missed by his many friends in the biking community.  He was a good leader, fun friend, and safe rider.   So long my friend.

   Our deepest sympathy to Robs family and Jacqueline who I know   
 loved him dearly.We know what it is like to loose a loved one.
                                          Love the Briggins Family

Rob was a man of integrity. He took pride in his work and loved his family. The world has lost a little of its shine. Condolences to his family.

Rob, 

Your passion for music, your love of bikes and gift of endless conversation will always have a part of my heart. Your hugs were lasting and your smile would brighten up any day. As we had often told each other, we were not friends for forever but for eternity. I miss my friend.

Love and prayers to your family and to all that knew Rob.

Rob,
Thanks for sharing you're love of motorcycles, riding and enjoyment of the open road with so many other riders. You brought fun, leadership and a sense of friendship to all you met and introduced within the Edmonton Motorcycle Riders Group. I will remember fondly those rides, those specials days on the road and your endless support. Thanks, and one last left hand wave as we pass for the last time.

The loss of Rob has created a void that cannot be filled.  Our condolences to Rob's family and friends.

I didn't know Rob for long but he always had a warm hug and smile for me..he will be greatly missed....Blessed be to you and your family in your time of grief

Don and family. We are saddened to hear the news of Rob's death.  We wish to send our condolences to you. May God bless you Don and your family in this time of sorrow.
Respectfully, Rolf and Colleen
