Since his retirement he also enjoyed the sport of rock climbing with his sister Bonnie. Rob recently joined the staff of Bainbridge-Guilford School District as a substitute teacher. He always took joy in being around students or adults and helping them learn. Pam and Rob's newest outdoor interest is a pop-up camper where they had great plans awaiting summer fun. Rob was a caring, supportive man, known as a great storyteller with his ease of friendly conversation and sense of wit and humor.
