Peggy and family I am so sorry for your loss. Rob was a great man. He will be missed.
Peg & Family, I am very sorry for your loss. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.
Rob (or Steiny) and I were good friends in Scouts and through High School. I have so many great memories; all of them bring a smile. Rob was an Eagle Scout from Troop 437. He picked up photography during this time (I like to think Scouts started that) and took pictures during our camping trips. I was really looking forward to the chance to catch up this fall as we have an anniversary gathering scheduled..
Mr. S was truly one of a kind. I’ll always remember all the things he taught me in school. He cared about his students so much and has helped shape some of the most talented and hardworking people. My heart goes out to all his family, friends and students.
