To Mary, Michael and DiMiero family,
I JUST learned of Rob's passing today and have been crying all morning to think that my dear friend Rob isn't part of this world with us anymore. I just called Rob on Thanksgiving to wish he and Mary and Michael a happy day, as I did each year around that time and he said everyone was great and I was over the moon to hear that. Which is why I am so completely shocked by his passing-literally in disbelief.
I had the great fortune of working with Rob many years in the business with my clients and we became good friends. He was one of the most quick witted people I knew, and we had a banter back and forth that we would express about some "pain in the neck clients" that kept us laughing for days. I grew to consider Rob a good friend personally. He often shared his stories of Mary and Michael with great love, as well as the rest of his family. He loved his trips to VA to see his sister, and how his nephew and Michael were always together doing sports or etc. as well as all of his family pride.
I am so saddened I have no words. Mary and Michael, I know that you are so lucky to have been blessed by such a great father and husband - you are Rob's whole world and I am so sorry for this incredible loss-Rob made the world a better place, and in these trying times going on around us, we need more people like him on the planet.
Rob, buddy, you will get a good laugh knowing that when i got the call this morning to learn about your passing, I cried so hard that mascara ran into both of my eyes, and I almost tripped going down the stairs as a result of the black vision I was experiencing-thank God for the handrail. You would appreciate that laugh. Thank you for allowing me to know you- I will miss you. Please look up my Mom while you are there- and yes, I know you will ask her how in the world did she lose that bet to be my mother!
Mary and Michael, I will keep you in my prayers always.
xxoo
