you were a beautiful soul here on earth! My memories with Rob were happy times working in McDonalds for all those years! Rob your smile and laugh will be remembered and cherished by me and all who knew you! Rise up Angel!! RIP my friend!

I haven't seen Robert in ages (since high school) but I have many wonderful memories of his gentle way and wonderful sense of humor.

My thoughts and prayers are with Larry and the Rooney family. 
I have known Robert since HS chorus. Over the years I have sat with him in church and often saw him in King Kullen. 
Every time our paths crossed it was heartwarming to see him. 
He will be truly missed.  Heaven has a beautiful new person singing with them.

May God keep you in his arms forever.  You have been a friend since I first met you.  That day was in 1990 when you hired me to work at McDonalds.  We have been friends since.  Rest in Peace.

Rob,
You were my "fellow June 5th-er" as you used to call it, and our birthday will never be the same. I can't believe you're gone. I always so enjoyed your company at family gatherings and little conversations on Facebook. You will be missed, my friend. RIP in Heaven. 
My most sincere condolences to Larry, and to Rob's family and friends.

Rob,
    You were such a wonderful person, with an amazing heart. Your presents lit up the room. I'll miss our little talks. Wish we could've seen each other more. You were one in a million and will be missed so much.
It's not goodbye, it's see you soon. Love, always..

Uncle Robert,  I miss you greatly. It was so different to be carving pumpkins tonight without you.  You were so good to me as I was growing up. I fell in love with mustangs once I saw your pale yellow one. You've taken me on adventures to the  city, have attended every special occasion in my life and we traveled to Ireland and London together. We have never had a holiday without you and you were always known for bringing the shrimp. Now the card table will be quiet and who will light off the fire works and make the stuffing and gravy? I ask you to please  watch over my family.  Jack and Olivia will never forget their Great Uncle Robert. May you rest in peace.

My condolences to Larry and family. 
RIP Robert

I'm thankful Robert & I reconnected on FB. He was kind and always said nice things. He was a breath of fresh air.  My condolences to Larry and his family.  RIP Robert

Robert you will be missed.  My condolences to Larry and your family. It was a pleasure to know you and call you my friend.

Robert,  you are going to be missed terribly.  You were an incredible and compassionate and genuine person.  I will love and remember you always

My Deepest Sympathies to family, friends, and Larry.  I didn't know Rob in person but I liked him through our interactions on Facebook. It was very obvious how much love he had in his heart.   I am truly very saddened by Robert's passing.

My childhood friend, you were so sweet. I am lucky and blessed we reconnected the last few years. You looked very happy. I have great memories of all of us from west 14th st. I know it was difficult for you when Michele passed away. Please I hope you find one another in heaven and hug. Blessings my friend. Love Michele

Rob, 
I miss you so much already. I miss our talks on every topic under the sun: our Irishness, your Larry and my Mark, great books and movies, our respective childhoods. You had the most gentle spirit and loving heart, and a quick wit that saw the humor in it all. Most of all, I will miss the twinkle in your eye. I love you. 
Missy

My Dear Heart!  Words cannot express how sad I am that you are gone.  We had so much more to do and see together.  Thank you for contacting me again after first meeting in 1983.  These past few years have gone so fast.  You will forever be in my heart and I will never forget you.

My heartfelt condolences to each and everyone of Rob's loved ones. May God's Grace and the love from family and friends provide some comfort to your grieving hearts.  Love and Prayers,
