My sincere condolences to Bob's family. I was very fortunate to play football with Bob while he was a student a Pine Crest.
I remembered when he decided to enter the military He was the type of individual who always listened to his own "drum beat" and did not have to follow the crowd. While I was in college Bob sent me a pair of cowboy boots to keep my feet warm in cold weather. That was the type of person he was, always considerate of others. I always appreciated his Christmas cards that were sent. The last time I saw him was at his 50th high school reunion. I was in the class behind him, but he made sure that I was invited to his class celebration dinner. We kept in touch periodically over the past few years. He always talked about the University of Michigan's basketball team and I would counter with the great teams of Indiana University where I graduated from (a school where it is OK to end your sentences in a preposition).
Bob always had a smile on his face. He was happiest when he talked about his children and what was occurring in their lives. We talked about getting together again, but COVID-19 and other events always seemed to interrupt our plans. He will be missed dearly and I know that the world lost a very good man. Again, my prayers are with his family. Sincerely, Dr. William D. DeMartini

He always enjoyed coming with his family to my Pet Store, Slevin's I owned in Frankenmuth's Bavarian Mall. They always enjoyed seeing the birds and other pets we had and talking to my shop parrot BABY, a yellow headed Amazon parrot. She would always say Hello--if she felt like it. If someone thought she was not going to say anything and turn to leave. she would start talking to get them to stay. She usually told them bye-bye and everyone would have a good laugh! She is still going strong! Ruth Slevin

Rob was my USAF buddy and we served together at RAF Wethersfield, England. After my tour in England, I joined Rob at his business in Montrose, Michigan. We shared many good times together. He was a true friend and he will be missed by many.

Ruth and family, I am very sorry to hear about your brother Robert’s passing. I always remembered mom talking about how he would come down and help her out. He and I talked occasionally on Facebook about family of whom he was very proud. May he rest in peace and May God wrap His arms about you and comfort. Old neighbor, Michelle Verbrugge Brown

Rob and I would call each other "Chavy" when talking on the phone; the other greeting we had for each other was "SH" we knew what that stood for. One more thing about Rob was his lack of the gift of gab...LOL
