Our dogs Lily (black) and Rose (brown) are missing their papa. They loved Rob so much and he loved them even more. They keep looking at me with big sad eyes. they know something is very wrong. All I can do is love on them and tell them Rob is ok now. Thank goodness our friend Alonzo is here to help take care of them. And give them some male friend love too.

I know we have not been able to connect so we can talk but in my bible reading this morning I came across this bible verse that made me think of you. Please call me when ever you can talk. Psalms 34:18 The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.
So sorry we were not able to make it up therefor Robs memorial. I hope it turned out as wonderful as u wanted it to.

RIP Rob.
I 1st.met Rob working at the theaters in Elgin. A bunch of us got to be friends, Rob, Rick Rocha, Wendy Chambers, Mike Harrison, Sheryl Totzke, a few others I can't remember right now. Sometimes we went bowling after work down the street at Schneider's bowling alley, one night, I met Pat Driscoll at the bowling alley, and we started dating, and soon some of us were hanging out at Pat's on Fri and sat nights, Rick and Rob would play their guitars. 1 song they played, all the time was Stairway to Heaven. We all had good clean fun back then. Those memories were some fond ones..
Rob, you climbed the stairway to heaven, RIP Rob.
My heartfelt condolences to Candy and the children, grandchildren, family and friends.

Remembering one of my favorite people is so easy. He wanted celebration and laughter with the tears. It was rare not to get a giggle from something he did. I'm laughing with you right now because you won the race home. Love you! Seester in law Brenda

I'm sorry I've no words to help, nothing but time and reflection of all the good memories he has left you with will help.
I'm sure he's watching over you doing what he can to ease your pain. He was a great man, your lucky to have met him. At least he is at peace and out of pain.

thank you so much for loving my friend Rob. I am sad we fell out of touch, but it makes me happy to know that he acknowledged the LORD's sacrifice on his behalf. There is nothing more important.
Grieving today.
You can be assured that I will add a fitting tribute to Rob in the Tribute Book when I can find adequate words to put down that would make him smile.
Love,
Fred❤️

So sorry for your loss and the pain you are feeling . Many prayers for Rob's healing stormed the throne of our father . He in his mercy answered those prayers not in the way we may have hoped but in the way that was best for Rob. God knows you will miss him and he has a plan for your future . You trusted Him for Rob's healing, now trust him for your own healing . I miss Cecil but I keep thinking that he and Rob are strolling heaven together.

My grandpa was a great person to me, my sister, my grandma, my grandpa's friends, and many relatives that we shared. He was the best grandfather that I could have ever had. I remember in the summer when our grandma and grandpa would take my sister and I to the splash pad, there were times we would not have swimsuits so we would put on one of grandpa's shirts and some shorts. Those were some of the best days that we shared. Even in the winter we would go sledding down little hills because it was hard for grandpa to make it up the huge hills. I remember when grandpa had me power washing the patio I had engraved “I love you” into it the wood of the patio. I remember camping in the backyard with my sister, grandma, and grandpa. Grandpa always made the best s’mores; they were always nice and golden brown but not too crunchy or burnt and always nice and gooey. Even though we did not go camping anywhere else other than the back yard when we were with them, we always made the best out of it. These are memories that will stick with me till the end of time, and I will forever miss you.
- I love you grandpa, Landon

My Favorite memory with grandpa is fishing we would fish down by the damn sometimes we would go to Franklin Creek. There was a time when we were at Franklin Creek that there were 2 turtles chasing me and Grandpa just sat there laughing at me running around. One of the first times he took me fishing I caught a Gar it was the size of my chest.
It never mattered what the weather was like we always would go fishing when I was in town visiting we had plans to get a boat and take it out on the river see what we could catch. The last time we went fishing was October 2022 Mom and I were coming to town to do some chores for Grandpa and Grandma and Grandpa told mom to have me bring my fishing supplies so we could go out even though the weather wasn’t that great. We caught nothing but sat there and spent time together just talking.
I love you and miss you so much Grandpa, find some good fishing spots for us to fish the next time we are together.

The most talked about memory with my dad is when we lived in Elgin on Bell st, I had just gotten my training wheels off and was riding my bike down the long driveway. I had turned out of the driveway to head on our street, don’t worry our street isn’t a busy one it was a dead end at the neighbors so the only people on this rode ever was my family or the neighbors. When I pulled out onto the street my bike tipped over and I fell into a puddle form the mornings rain. And of course I sat in the puddle crying till my dad ran to me scooped me up and asked me what hurts? I told him my face because it was wet. My dad then wiped my face off with his shirt helped me get back on my bike and off I went again.
My dad was always there when I needed him or didn’t need him. He would always give the best hugs ever it always seemed like whatever was wrong was washed away just with a simple hug and I love you princess. He was always the best girl dad anyone could ever ask for.
Through the years whenever I needed help with school he was always there explaining things most times better then any teacher ever did. He was my favorite to get help from (sorry mom) even when I was in high school and taking cosmetology classes through the Whiteside program he would let me try out the things I learned in class on him and sometimes just because he would let me paint his nails as well (paint had to be off before bed cause he had to work next morning).
Many years later when I found out I was pregnant with my son Chris we were up watching rescue 911 the story line was about a young kid who was in his parents garage and climbed up on his dads tool box to get a toy off the top of it. The tool box tipped over and pinned the small child between the tool box and the family minivan. Mom inside the house heard the noise and came running screaming Bubba!!! My dad reached over and rubbed my belly joking calling my baby Bubba. Chris is now 19 and my dad and my dad and I still call my son Bubba
Through the years of having Grandkids and Great Grandkids my dad would always play with them weather it was dinosaurs or cars sometimes he would even play princesses and put on the tiara whatever he the grandkids would do. He even played flashlights with my son.

I remember when we were talking about Hotwheels and you said to let you show me something. Then you said, "You see this one?". I said "Yeah, I see those all the time at Walmart". Then you said in a funny voice "No, no, no you don't I can promise you that." Then I said, "Yeah I do." And then you said, "If you bring me proof then I will pay you double what you bought it for" Well about that I never found one.
You are and will always be missed.

I know I don’t have a lot of memories with you but I do remember when you taught me Russian and all those words you taught me I want to say to you now. I want to say that all those moments and memories I did have with you helped me learn and helped me to know a lot but the most important thing I learned and you taught me is a big thing and that thing is that I love you!

It has been over 40 years since Rob Roath and I spent time together, but Rob is the type of friend that left an indelible imprint on my life, as he has for others. We met in Jr. High and continued as friends through high school, sharing an apartment after graduation and enjoying employment in the same restaurant, as well as "grooving" on the musical creativity of John Denver, Jim Croce, Harry Chapin, and many others. Rob had a talent and love for guitar, and music was what drove a lot of our interests. What struck me most about Rob was his overt disgust of war, and mankind's perverse inclination toward using war as means to an end. I never forgot this, and a lot of it rubbed off on me, as I sought to make sense of the long, bloody history of human conflict.........Rob knew that love was the highest aspiration of human relations because of his warm and congenial attitude toward everyone with which he had contact; a warmth of spirit which I never forgot, and tried to emulate in my own life. I am sure he was the same toward his loving wife Candy and his children and grandchildren. I am deeply saddened by his passing, and will never forget him. Until we meet again, my friend, may you rest in God's loving arms.

Rob has always been such a nice guy who loved the Lord, his family, and friends. I'll never forget his little dinosaur friend he would bring to every worship practice and Sunday service. His dinosaur would face him while he played his guitar and face our pastor while he preached. I would greet the little dino every practice and Sunday morning and Rob would just laugh and say "he loves to hear us worship and he loves to hear God's word". I love you sir Rob and miss you greatly.

Grandpa was the greatest grandpa we could have ever asked for. He not only was grandpa but he stepped up and made sure to help us with the “dad” things growing up. His hugs were the best ever. I will miss you forever grandpa <3 until we meet again.

I don’t have one memory that stands out, just an overall. I meet his oldest daughter in middle school and we became quick friends. I ended up spending a lot of time at their home. I don’t know if they knew how much I needed that at the time, but I was there so much I got chores and in trouble! I remember a house of friendly family chaos, and lots of music. They were the first to show me a healthy relationship, that I knew I wanted later in life. When I think of Rob I think of Love, kindness and generosity, and of course his guitar! They ended up moving and we lost touch for a bit, but they were always in my thoughts. Thank you Rob, you set a high bar for others to follow.

My grandpa was truly a wonderful person. He was the best father figure a could have and made sure to instill good virtues in his grandchildren. He showed us how to love people unconditionally and the importance of kindness. I remember going to the father-daughter dance when I was young with him and how we had so much fun dancing the night away. I thought I had the coolest date compared to other girls. My grandpa made sure that I felt like the most important girl in the world that night. He always made sure that I felt important and was one of my biggest fans and supporters. I know that he is still cheering me on even though he is no longer here with us. He was and is the best grandpa that I could ask for. He will always remain in my heart and memories. I love you so much grandpa.

My Grandpa,
I remember my grandpa as the best grandpa I could ask for. He always told me when I was little that I would grow up to be a beautiful princess. He always kissed the scratches I got from falling on cement or down the stairs whenever I was at their house. I remember when I went there every other weekend, and we would always have tacos because it was mine and my brother's favorite thing our grandpa made. I remember how he always toasted up the taco shells so that they were at the right temperature. The beans were always nice and creamy, and the rice was always nice and warm. Grandpa always made sure we used the plates special for tacos and tacos only. I remember when I would go over there and there would always be scratches on his hand from when the dogs would jump on him. My grandpa always helped around the house. He helped with the dogs and the rabbits. I remember there would be times that my brother and I would get to grandma's and grandpa's house before he was home. When he got home, he would walk in the house and a little black lab named Lilly would always jump all over him because she missed him so much, she would always lay by his chair, even when we would eat tacos. Even though I can reminisce on all the memories my grandpa and I share, I miss him. I miss my grandpa so much every time I think about how I will not see him anymore I cry. I went to see him on December 6th of 2022, he did not look like the grandpa I knew. My grandpa always wanted to help. My grandpa always wanted to make sure everyone was ok before he checked on himself. His face was pale, and he just did not look like himself. For a minute I thought that when he would shake his head or move his foot that he knew I was there. When I was left alone with him to say my last goodbyes, I held his hand, it was still warm as if he was ok. At one point I was sitting there holding his hand and talking to him and he squeezed my hand. I know now that all of it was unvoluntary but this time it felt like he was listening to me as if he was ok, and that he was going to make it. My grandpa was strong enough to fight his battle, but his battle slowly ended on December 10th, 2022, 4 days after I had last seen him. I sincerely am going to miss you grandpa. I am going to miss the smile on your face whenever you walk into the house, I am going to miss the person I once had tacos with and, most of all I am going to miss the person that told me I could be a princess. I know that you are no longer here anymore grandpa but be expecting me to look up at the sky every night and tell you I love you and good night. I think about you all the time and you will always be in my heart. I love you so much grandpa and I hope you do not have to struggle anymore up there. I cannot express how much I miss you, and I know you miss me too, but I am here, and you will always be in my heart.
- I love you Grandpa

I knew you before Candy, and looking at you now, I can't believe I told her to stay clear, away from you. I always knew your heart was good, but at that point in life...you two would never work. So glad I was wrong, I love you so so much. Thank you for everything in my head and heart you provided, but eternally grateful for the life you and Candy shared that I watched. I know your home now, hanging with Jesus, but I also know we shall all be together again with our Father. ...xoxo Bren

While working with Rob, I saw his dedication and commitment to whatever he did. He didn't let limitations get in his way. He was always kind and helpful to me and enjoyed sharing what mattered to him most. His family, his animals and his Lord. Blessings, peace, wisdom and strength as you process the loss of this man.
