I have fond memories of hanging out with Rob throughout the years. Whether it was fishing or other water sports to bon fires and some of those ran together. I could always count on a funny joke to be told and that smile on his face. R.I.P. my friend. You will always be remembered and not forgotten.

I remember when Robert, Huston Dover, and I got into a food fight in the cafeteria in elementary school. Peas, we threw the peas. Robert had really blonde hair and smashed a bunch of peas through his hair that I threw at him. Yes, we ended up getting into trouble, but I will never forget that. Such a funny memory. You will be missed Robert very much.

Dang it, Rob. A lot of missed opportunities to know our girls and meet your amazing granddaughter, Millie. What I wouldn't give to go fishing with you one more time. To hear your laugh and see your smile. Rest in peace, be at peace, and know you were loved. Always.

I am so deeply saddened to hear of Rob's passing away!
Rob was the very first person I met when we moved to Lakeview from Hammond Indiana. My parents bought and ran E.E. Turner Grocery in Lakeview. We lived in the back of the store. The Shaws lived down the road behind the store. Me and Rob became instant friends. As well as his mom and dad and my parents. They used to come down to the store on Wednesday night to wait for the Baxter Bulletin. We played with our Hot Wheels all the time. Played football behind Bay Breeze resort. Would go hunting for bottles to turn in for change to buy candy. All of us kids used to play all day long and come back to the house when the vapor lights came on! Or when our folks would call us! We would ride our bikes or walk to Lakeview beach and go swimming and playing through the park. It was the best of times.
My deepest sympathy to his children and grandchildren and to Sherri and Joy. We all shared so many good times together!
I just saw Rob a couple weeks ago at work. I was outside of my store and he grabbed my arm to say hello with that big grin on his face while going to his vehicle! A friend for life whom I will miss!!
Rest in peace my dear friend.

Joy, Sheri and family. Shocked and Sorry to hear this. Rob was a fun guy. My memories with him was working at the Dairy Queen-Brazier on main street in Mountain Home in the mid to late 80's. He was a good grill line cook. Joy and Sheri were also part of the DQ family. I think Rob even made a trip down the Water Whip. Like I said, so sorry to hear. 57 is to young for leaving.
Take care,
Jim Floyd
