I am grateful to have gotten to know the real man that you were. People have said that I am my father's daughter. The times we spent together will be cherished. You had a genuine laugh that was exceptionally infectious. I will truly miss our long phone calls, but mostly I will miss you dad. Love you always! Melody

Robert was a sensitive and intelligent man, and I am thankful for the good years and good times we had together. He gave me two great children, who are my heart, and made me a member of the wonderful Cadogan family, gifts I will cherish forever. Life took us down different paths, but I will always remember him with great affection. God Speed Rob.

Rob was a great brother in law to me when I was a young girl. He and Linda took me in and I lived with them and Bonnie and Shawn until I got married. Rob, Linda and I spent many a late night playing Jeopardy and laughing until we cried. He was a great story teller and never had a problem making himself the butt of his own jokes. he loved Bonnie and Shawn and spent time with them playing on the floor with everything from their "toy store". He toaught me how to fish up in Iron River and always included me in Cadogan family events. He will be missed...adios horse!
