  1. You’ll be missed my brother. I always enjoyed the passion you had for the tree work. I think Grayslake lost a compassionate human being and you will be sorely missed. Rest in peace may God welcome you with open arms, you will hurt no more.

  2. I am so saddened to learn of Rob’s passing (I was just in the process of reaching out to him for a planned fall tree trimming job that we had discussed over the summer when I found out.). Rob was a wonderful human being, a committed community member, and passionate in his vocation. I will miss seeing him drive by in his truck and knowing such a wonderful member of our community was among us.

  3. I am so saddened to hear about Robert’s passing. He and his team did a wonderful job cutting down large trees in my yard that he came out to look at and verify they were dying and planting new ones. He knew so much about trees and was very willing to explain everything.
