Rob graduated from North Attleborough High School, Massachusetts, and went on to proudly serve in the United States Army, retiring honorably after his military career. His

serving as president of the Waccamaw Arts & Crafts Guild and playing an integral role in thefounding of Gallery 320, helping create opportunities for artists to share their work.

Rob was a larger-than-life personality who made people laugh easily. He loved spendingtime outdoors and with family, especially fishing, gardening, traveling, attending Wounded
Warrior events, and kayaking with his wife. He was a man of deep faith in God, which guided his life and gave him strength through difficult times.
