Rob was a gentle and loving soul, an inspiration to everyone he met. He was well-known for his optimism, his perseverance and strength, his genuinely kind heart, and his ability to see the good in any situation. Many have been blessed to have known Rob.
Survivors include his brother and sisters, Carl (Marilyn) Wolfinger; Betty Ann Van Dyke (special friend, Del Delcore); Rosemary Wolfinger Klauber; and Shirley Wolfinger; and his step-mother, Janet Wolfinger and her family.
