Goodbye uncle Rob. I always appreciated that you love dogs as much as I do. Tell Papa hello from me and the kids.

I had the pleasure of working with him at TJ when he was a Counselor. He was so interesting to talk to n listen to... He had a very adventurous life. To know him was to love him. I am so glad he found Gilmer...someone to care for him n his precious dogs. I always enjoyed running into him n listening to what was going on in his life. Our last encounter was at the credit union in the parking lot. That was in July. We laughed n hugged good bye. May he rest in peace...Prayers for all.

God's speed Robert for being a caring brother-in-law to me. I will always treasure the 6 weeks you spent with Jeff and me while you rebuilt after the two back-to-back hurricanes. I enjoyed the interaction between you and Jeff. ❤️ I will miss your sweet comments on Facebook.

My condolences to the family. Mr. McLane was my Spanish teacher in high school, I use to always get in trouble for chewing gum in his class, he would come around with a trash can and say "chicle" and make me spit it out. I saw him several times after I graduated school and he would tell me about all his dogs he rescued and that he loved so much. He was a good guy. May he rest in peace and prayers to his family.
