Rob has left behind an emptiness that is impossible to fill. He was very much loved by many people in the village we call Shekou, the area of Shenzhen where he lived. And living he did, with a lot of energy and enthusiasm. Numerous good memories flash through my mind, watching F1 together, celebrating his birthday at his house, good conversations, etc. It was always a pleasure to hang out with Rob, and with Coco, who we wish strength and courage to continue life without her Rob. Shekou misses Rob, he will be remembered forever as a loyal friend, loving husband and father.

Rob, voor altijd in gedachte als mijn eerste liefde. Woorden schieten natuurlijk te kort om dit verlies te omschrijven. Als ik aan jou denk, denk ik ook vaak aan een gedicht wat Karin op jouw slaapkamermuur had geschreven. Ik quote het nog wel eens omdat het simpelweg prachtig is. Karin, hopelijk herinner ik het me goed en doe ik jou en Rob eer aan.... "Ik zag de evenaar, heel even maar. Daar waar de hemel zich scheidt van de aarde, ik jou ontwaarde en de evenaar evenaarde." Zo blijven jij, Karin, Jan en Joke in mijn gedachte, voor altijd. Al mijn liefs voor jullie, Jaimy

News of Rob's passing literally knocked me down. He was a force of nature and it's incomprehensible that his fire was extinguished so soon; and then I remembered it hasn’t been...



My only faith is science, so it is in scientific terms I relay that Rob’s light is now and will always be eternal... this is scientific fact.



The human body literally glimmers with its own light (Ultraweak Photon Emission), and that light (the light that shone from Rob his whole life) even though it's 1000 times lower than the sensitivity of our naked eyes, will be glittering through the universe in a billion years from now...



Long after, you have transitioned to the next dimension, the eternal light signature of your existence in this one (along with all the significant pulses throughout this life) continues, stretching across all space and time, forever.



I miss you mate –
