Another one of Muskies Soldiers from East Rome is gone.God Bless him. Rob was one of a select group of Pisans, as were others,who kept East Rome right for many years. Rob loved hunting,fishing and being outdoors with a passion. We put a lot of miles on our boots hunting the booneville gorge and behind his house on Bartlett Road. As time passed,we all went our own ways. Still good friends trying to be the best we could, but we never missed the wild weekends down Phillies cellar. Ya had to be there. Sorry to all the family.

Aaron, so sorry for your loss. Your dad was always kind and friendly. I regret not getting to know him much sooner than I did.
