He was an avid rock music lover and a Steelers  superfan. He enjoyed playing guitar, and he loved adding to his immense record and movie collection. Robert was known for his iconic long hair and signature short sleeve and shirt combo in the winter. He made everyone he met laugh with his goofy sense of humor. He was a great artist who could rival Charles Schultz.. He won a poster contest at Ozzy Osbourne 's Farewell Tour concert and was invited backstage to meet Ozzy. He was kind, generous, and thoughtful. He was very strong and fought a courageous battle, as he suffered as early as age two, being in and out of the hospital due to his diabetes and then later on with kidney failure. Most of all, Rob was a person of deep faith and he kept God first in his life. He was a beautiful soul, and he is greatly loved and missed.
