Damien Green lit a candle

“Rev Rob was an amazing man who loved God. I had the opportunity to spend late nights with him working on our assignment for teaching Catechism class a few years ago. His energy and love for the Word kept him going and I was so amazed how he unpacked the Word and made something complex seem so simple. I watched in amazement how he would make our lessons come to live with his energy and total engagement. I miss him so much and but I know you are with our Lord rejoicing and I will see you again.”

“I remember uncle rob and auntie Jackie being our youth leaders. I was not a happy teenager after realizing my parents were making us attend teen classes. He and auntie Jackie brought us the word so real and gracefully that they helped change my life. So much so that i made them the God parents to my daughter. Uncle Rob we are going to miss you like crazy but I know where you are I am striving to be and that is with our heavenly father. Until then we will cherish memories!”
