I’m very saddened to hear the news about Rob. He was a pleasure to work with here at RBC Insurance. On a professional note he was thorough and consistently accurate. He always gave 110% to the team and was highly respected for his knowledge and tenacity.
On a personal level I always found Rob a treat to talk with. His unwavering positivity and sweet smile lit up the room.
To his family, I know your hearts are breaking but I hope you find comfort in knowing your husband/dad spoke of you often to me. You were first and foremost in his heart always.
