I recently heard about the passing of Bob. I worked with and for Bob on the Coker at Citgo for many years. I had a long chat with him in Menards just prior to his passing when he told me of the cancer. I promised to pray for him and the family. I now offer my deepest condolences to his family and ask that God bless and continue to comfort each of you.

To the Rohder Family,
I was shocked and saddened to learn of Rob's passing. It brought to mind a memory I have of him from high school. I was a freshman and he a senior and passing in the hallway he smiled at me, he didn't know me, but he smiled at a lowly freshman. From that day forward I always thought he was special.
Please accept my deepest sympathy.
Sincerely,
Pam (Weber) Sharp
