Natasha,

Our hearts are aching for you, Carsyn and Addy as well as all those Rob has touched -- our family included. As I read all of the amazing Rob stories of love, patience, inspiration and kindness, we realize the many people Rob touched beyond our softball family. Rob gave so much of himself to everyone, we owe YOU gratitude for sharing him with all of us.
Our fondest memories of Rob will be from Emma's final year on the Lazer's team. Rob was so patient with us as we struggled to decide what was best for Emma. John and I will be forever grateful for his long talks with us on the phone, his selfless commitment to the girls and the long hours on the cold, hot, wet and dusty fields. He gave his all to the girls...not to win, but to develop each girl to be the best they could be. They will be one of his many legacies. Rob was not just a coach, he became our dear friend whose love seemed endless. We will miss him. He raised the bar for all of us striving to make the world a better place. We pray that you find comfort in his forever love for you and the sweet memories.
