    Much too young. You’ll be missed Rab, by so many people. Prayers for comfort and peace for you all as you mourn the loss of your beloved “Rabbit”. He always had a smile and a joke, no matter what he may have been struggling with himself. So many memories. Hang on to those memories and keep them close. Much love to you all. May God keep you close and comfort you through this loss.

    Sending Love and Aloha to Aunt Margaret and the family of my first cousin, Rob. So thankful that we were able to meet once at the family farm in Minnesota when he was 6 and I was 8. I am sure that Uncle Wayne, Joyce & Jeanne were there to welcome him to Heaven with open arms. Blessings and loving thoughts go out to his wife, children & grandchildren from all of his family here in Hawai’i.
