    To Morgan and all of the Schaaf family, We are so saddened by the loss of Rob. But our tears turn to smiles and even laughter when we share our many memories of him. He was a kind, thoughtful, and very talented man. But most important, he was a loving father who always talked about the fun times he had with Morgan. He was a proud daddy! We love you Rob, Diana Perry

    I am so sorry for your loss, I haven’t seen Rob since I went to rehab and got my life together but he knows I loved him. Me and Rob have alot of history he told me many times in the last 15 years I was the only woman he could ever really love and he did so much for me, it breaks my heart that he’s gone 🙁 I haven’t stopped crying since I found out. He was so proud of Morgan and the woman she has become, she is and will forever be Robs pride and joy. I told Rob before I would b here for Morgan if she needs anything. Again I’m sorry for all of our loss!

    To the Schaaf family. We are shocked and saddened to learn of Rob’s death. We have known him for several years and he has done some exquisite outdoor and carpentry work for us. He was a sweet, honest, and conscientious young man and he loved the outdoors. Rob shared some gardening tips and even baked us a cake. He loved his family and spoke of them often, and was especially proud of Morgan and her accomplishments.
    Your family is in our prayers that God will help and comfort you during this sad time.

    I am so sorry to hear about your loss. Robert will be missed by his family and friends, but he will not be forgotten by our heavenly father Jehovah. We often wonder can the dead really live again. God says there is going to be a resurrection. (John 5:28,29) This means that Robert will be given a fresh new start with the prospect of living forever. (Psalms 37:29) I hope this will bring you comfort knowing that you don’t have to say goodbye, but see you later until you see him again to share more wonderful times together.

    I’m very sorry for the loss of Rob. I believe it was 7th grade, we sat together at lunch everyday at school. I recall it was difficult to eat because we were always laughing so much… Rob was such a funny person. My prayers are with your family.
