NEW YORK STATE FALLEN FIREFIGHTERS MEMORIAL
"I see people sitting on the marble bench, gazing at the struggling faces of the firefighters others walk around and touch the sculp-ture with a kind of reverence". Incredible” and “magnificent" are but two of the words I've heard people
use to describe the sculpture. And very often, there are tearful eyes.
I see your work at various times of day and discover new dimensions with changes in the light and sky. The power of the figures, the energy, movement and
emotion are awesome, and are reflection of your sensitivity and artistic genius."

~ COL. Otto Lehrack RetiredSt.AGNES CATHOLIC CHURCH ALTAR
"Rob’s artistic craftsmanship is clearly evident in all of his sculptures. There is a ‘living’ sense about his bronzes."

and inflexible. Rob was solicitous of ideas and highly cooperative from the imagination phase to the final product."
"His commitment and attention to detail gave comfort and reassurance to the committee and the whole parish
that the new alter and ambo would be completed on time and would be a masterpieces that all would be proud of."
