He was an avid outdoorsman, where he enjoyed hunting and fishing. He loved his outdoor patio, where he enjoyed sharing his culinary expertise, especially his smoked treats.
He and Katie loved to travel, and every vacation had to include fishing, especially deep-sea fishing.
Together they visited Mexico, Costa Rico, and Jamaica, as well as much of the United States.
He enjoyed the Finger Lakes area, where he particularly loved the wines and cheeses.
Rob had many close friendships, which spanned over decades.
He was always willing to help.
He had a very contagious laugh and a wry sense of humor. He was very passionate about his beliefs.
He was a strong advocate for the Celiac Foundation.
