Pleasant.   Rob enjoyed visits from many dear friends around the community and participating in many of the Mt Pleasant Community Church activities.  Rob was an active community volunteer, a fixer, a master gardener and collector of books, knives and old tools. 

 Rob enjoyed fishing, hunting, fixing anything and especially auction sales.  He loved spending time with his family and friends.
