Rob billy just a kind soul gracious in heart. Met him through Carl/mike in key west always helpful. Lots of laughs during fantasy fest after Irma my house had lots of damage in marathon fl. Rob drove to help me put a 90 ft fence up in my backyard that had collapsed. Couldn’t get anyone here to help. Will never forget this man. My condolences to his folks he was a great guy.

Rob was our neighbor here in our little community in Key West. He was one of the first people to welcome us to Grinnell Gardens back in 2019 when we bought our home. Always with a smile and a laugh. He was quick to share some cut fruit when he had a pineapple or some watermelon with me and would chat about just about everything! He sat and chatted with my husband John and I all the time – whether about work or play – he loved to talk! He always took the time to ride his bike, enjoy the sunsets, and live life. Did I say always with a smile and a laugh? – Ha, yes, I did. Even though he recently moved to a new place – Rob always stopped by to “Check the Mail”, but I think he just missed us all and just wanted to say hello – we missed him too! Rob spoke of his family and his parents often – you raised a very fine man Mr. & Mrs. Billy! Kind, Considerate & Thoughtful! His passing took us all by surprise and I know that he will be missed dearly by his friends, family – well just by everyone, including us. Tammy & John Moskites

I was Rob’s next door neighbor in Key West for 7 years until I moved away in October 2020. To say that Rob was a great guy is an understatement by far. Rob was so kind, thoughtful, generous, funny, compassionate and caring during the 7 years we were neighbors.
Knowing I lived alone he would stop by and check in every once in awhile and help with any maintenance issues that came up. During Hurricane Irma, Rob helped me so much with the emotional turmoil and yard damage that occurred. He made the recovery process less stressful by his kindness and willingness to help however he could. Mostly recently, I am so grateful to Rob because in March 2020 I lost my job and he knew how upset I was about the unknown we were all facing. He would invite me over for a beer to talk or on the days I really was too depressed to even do that he would just sit on my porch with me and talk while I cried. He never made me feel awkward about being emotional about the pandemic and the uncertainty of it all. He just listened and offered support. We would sit and talk about everything and nothing all at the same time. He was just easy to talk to and be around. He had such a big heart.
Even after I moved away in October 2020 we stayed in touch and chatted occasionally. He was close to me during some of the most stressful times in my life recently and gave his whole heart to the friendships he had. Rob reminds me a lot of my older brother and he watched out for me as if I was his younger sister. Relationships like that are so rare and I’m so grateful for his friendship.
The last time I talked to Rob was 2 days before he passed and in usual Rob fashion that last conversation was initiated by him asking how I was doing and what I was up to. He always just genuinely cared about everyone close to him. My heart hurts knowing he is gone but I’m so unbelievably grateful for the time we shared together.
To the Billy family- I’m so sorry for your loss. You raised an amazing man and he talked about all of you so fondly. He made an impact on so my people around him. His compassion made my life a little easier during some of my hardest times. You should all be so proud of him. He made a difference in the world around him.
He will continue to live on in our hearts as the amazing man he was. Im just so happy I had the privilege of getting to know him and I’m forever grateful for that.

That was certainly Rob. Your tribute here is not only touching but typical of Rob’s nature. Many of his friends have similar stories because Rob truly cared and GAVE of himself to all his friends in need with whatever resources he possessed, mostly his wonderful spirit.

My sincere condolences to Rob's family. I'll miss sitting and talking with him at Dante's on a Saturday afternoon. He was a really great guy and will be missed. Last time I saw a Rob I was riding my bike. He was driving by and gave a honk and then pulled over. We chatted for a bit and then went on. I'm glad I got that chance to talk to him one last time. He was one of the best parts of what this island has to offer.

Rob was not only a friend, he was a truly positive force in everyone's life who had the good fortune to know him. He was intelligent, dependable, witty, fun-loving, snarky, and a genuinely decent and good person. In this photo from the Onesie pub crawl in Key West a couple years ago, I gave Rob my Kangaroo Onesie not knowing he would turn into a semi-charred Kangaroo outfit from the Australian wildfires, arm sling and all...he was a truly funny person and I will miss him, our conversations, and his amazing spirit.

I’ve known Rob since we were freshmen in high school and not a day has gone by since then that memories with him haven’t brought about a smile to my face. He was ALWAYS there for his friends; always. He made High School something more than just tolerable for me. We worked together at the Southern House, and a few projects at Pete’s house up in Colts Neck. I shared his passion for construction and admire him for having the guts to move so far away from home and follow his dream. Not everyone can do that, but Rob could do anything he put his mind to. He was amazing like that. And he was never down; he’d always have something clever or silly to say that would make you stop and think, and then laugh. He was smarter than he ever let on, and a lot deeper as well. He could make something from nothing. If we were bored, he’d suddenly come up with the most ridiculous idea and we’d wind up having the best time from it. Every once in a while, I’ll think about the times we would just sit and talk (more often than not sitting at a bar), and how those moments, now more than ever, were so important to me. The floundering years after high school, while navigating college and figuring out life, were where I spent most of my time with him. His contribution to the world, wherever he set foot, can never be fully measured. As all the memories from his friends and loved ones will attest, he was an incredible human being, and the best friend any one person could hope to have. The world is a little bit smaller without him here, and my heart is broken because if it. But I know he is off on some new grand adventure, just waiting for us to join him.

This is extremely hard for me to write, I’m terrible at expressing myself but here we go. I met Rob in high school and instantly fell in love with his smile, his personality, and especially the way he treated everyone in our class of ‘91. He literally loved everyone, he made time for everyone. I have notes we passed between classes addressed to “dirty hippie slut.” He meant that in a loving way I assure you.
Fast forward 25 years. I’m living in Saint Augustine Florida and Rob would ALWAYS take the time to stop and visit, have lunch, catch up and be on his way to family. I cherish those visits. He never knew how much those visits meant to me during the most difficult time of my life. Rob, I love you and I can’t wait to see you again my friend. ❤️

When I first got to Stockton, Rob was a year older but was very welcoming to us freshmen in the dorm. We became fast friends and anyone who knew him NEVER forgot him. He was a unique character, to say the least! We were neighbors for two years, then shared an apartment for another two. He was always looking out for all of us. He created community by introducing people from various groups of friends. He was part of my “family” at school and gave all of us so many hilarious memories. Too many to count. His opinions, theories, and outlook were so interesting and entertaining. I always knew we'd have a good time if Rob was around and he was a great friend for us to have from the first day of school until the last. I'm glad we stayed in touch over the years and that he never changed. His family should be really proud of the man he was.

Where to begin when you want to express the magnitude of the amazing human being Rob was. HIs kindness was some that I have never had from anyone else. Not that I have been treated poorly by other, but that his treatment was that wonderful. Whether it be an Easter lilly on my door step that Sunday morning or flowers and balloons for my birthday he never missed a chance to be sweet. I would make him cupcakes only to have him make me the best chocolate chip cookies I have ever had!
In August I was trying to buy a home without boring you all with the details of the epic failer the inspection met. Just know that the realtor, underwriter, seller and morgagae company all said I would not be able to get it all fixed in the time frame of the contract. Well, they did'nt know my friend Rob! New roof, electric, plumbing all in a matter of weeks. If you know Key West that's awing! I was so scared I was going to be out a lot of money and a home. Rob called every day talking me off the emotional cliff the best contractor, therapist and friend a person could ever hope to have.
Now not only a big heart Rob was so very thoughtful and smart. Whether it be a text asking me my dreams or a meme to make me laught his mind was always engaging. He would come to trivia with me and know the answers to questions that I bet would make a better movie than slum dog millionaire. Last night at trivia in honnor of Rob we all toasted a shot of whiskey and a moment of silence. Complete silence in a bar and than people clamoring over who is paying the tab to show Rob respect.
Robs love for his fellow man was equilly matched for in his love for animals and this planet. My little King Charles Loki would attest to this, he would come running for snuggles as soon as Rob came over. Rob was big on reuse, recycle and many a times myself and others reaped the by product of him not wanting to throw away something after a job that was still perfectly usable just not wanted any longer by a client. And the projects he completed were just beautiful. Seeing pictures he showed me and the pride he got from his accomplishments was well deserved.
I had the privilege of celebrating the holidays with Rob this year. We went to a gingerbread making workshop and oh my, only Rob could have done what he did! Most people were just trying to get a couple walls to stay up and all covered in frosting. I look over and he was working on the patio off the second floor!!! So construction is not my forte apparently, since I never even was able to get four walls up. Two days later, I discover a bag on my patio enclosed was a Peanut's how to make a gingerbread kit. I can just imagine him chuckling as he was walking away. Eating a good meal, drinking wine and sitting by a fire on Christmas night this year will forever be one of my best memories.
Joking about catholic school was fun for us but now a comfort. I am greatful our paths crossed a decade ago and he will be loved and missed till I see him on the other side.
I can't imagine how devistated his family is, he spoke loving of you all and I am so sorry. I want you to know that I now understand what the phrase prince of a man truly means. Lastly, because of this amazing human being you raised and what he has ment to us, my life and so many other will forever be changed for the better.

What words could I possibly write. I would like to say to Mr. and Mrs Billy you brought up one caring young man. Rob is a direct reflection of the whole Billy family on who they are as a family. Everybody Loves you my man. You left a mark. I lLove You. On a lighter note, and more to Rob’s liking. This Saturday is a celebration parade called Cookes parade on the Main Street (Duval) in Key West, it’s in honor of all the folks that have passed on from Key West. One of Rob’s friends managed to get Rob’s name part of the function.

Condolences to Rob's family and friends. I can only start to console myself by picturing Rob sitting with a smirk, complaining with gritted teeth, clenched fists and tongue-in-cheek fury that Meat Loaf also passed on his day. Rob was unique and irreplaceable and a bright light that we needed in this world.
