Dear Natalie, Paige, Owen and Ryan:

We will all miss this wonderful husband, father, brother, uncle and friend.  But our lives were enriched because of him.  

   I came across this and thought we could all use these words of wisdom 

“Whenever I am missing you, I also remember how fortunate I was that you were in my life. I wouldn't trade those moments for the world.”

Love and Hugs

Aunt Ann, Uncle Stan and the rest of the Wysocki’s.     

As everyone knows (or should know) Rob had and always will have a special place in my heart.   ❤️.  Ann / Aunt Ann

Dearest Natalie, Paige, Owen and Ryan, and the whole Olsen Family,

I never had the pleasure of meeting Rob. Natalie and the children always spoke lovingly of him. And Miss Gloria as well. She adored herSon-in-law.

As a young child I was taught by my Irish Grandfather : "The measure of a man is not in his wealth or possessions. Rather, it is how he presents day to day, through his work, and with his family. " 
With his wife Natalie, they have raised 3 wonderful, truly bright children, now young adults. And just amazing people they are !

I wish to honor both his commitment and love of his family , and also to the FDNY. I believe for someone to be in the Fire Department, is truly a calling. To Rob and Tower Ladder 146, I am so grateful to your valor and courage each day. The Thunderbolts keep Brooklyn safe! Thank you. And sincerely, especially on 9/11 and and the following aftermath. I wish you God's blessings, and to keep you safe always. 

Please, I wish you to find comfort and yes joy, in the thought Rob has been called to be a Guardian Angel to all of you, family , co-workers, and all of his friends. 

Please celebrate his life.

Even though we never got a chance to meet him, we can tell he was a kind man who loved his family and did amazing work for his country and was such a brave fire fighter. You must all be so proud of him. We know your hearts are broken and no words will ease your pain, but know that you will be in our thoughts and prayers at this very difficult time. May Rob's gentle soul Rest in Peace x ❤️ Love from your cousins: Ann (Barry), Liam, Loraine, Jonathan & Norah Lahive, Cork, Ireland.

G_d Bless his soul and may the Lord give his family comfort  . Amen

Such a good man. Rob and I shared a few bad days together on the job. He was a pillar of strength. Quiet and unassuming and a phenomenal firefighter. He typified the words of Ray Pfeifer, "Do the right thing, even when nobody's looking."
