Ok, here is a quick little story about Rob to make you smile. It was the early 80’s. I was at the old Shakey’s Pizza on York road in Cockeysville, probably after a rec league soccer or basketball game or something with a bunch of guys. The night was ending, we were by the door waiting for our parents to pick us up. That was when someone introduced me to Rob. Might have been Jeff Knabe. We were just talking and waiting, Rob was just the center of everyone’s attention. He was funny, a snappy dresser, and he even showed us some dance moves. I remember because it was the middle of winter & he was wearing penny loafers, no socks and doing the moonwalk, and maybe a few other moves. The height of cool at the time of course.
Anyway, fast forward a bit and we all played basketball & baseball together at Dulaney. I had a failed attempt trying out for the soccer team with him as well before I moved on to football. It was a great time playing basketball & baseball. Practices, bus trips to play other schools & just generally having fun. I remember him always being a gentleman, a gifted athlete, he had a great attitude, humble, supportive, and honest. I definitely counted him as a good friend. He was just a great guy to be around.
I think it’s safe to say he made the world a better place by being here, he will be missed.
