Ruth and I are saddened at the loss of our friend. He brought so much joy, humor and talent to all of us. There will be a big void at all the shows I go to now. I will miss my old buddy!
I think we should have a red sock day at the Dallas and St Louis shows next year in honor of Rob! |

Brother Rob, you knew I loved to play Newbury's Sweet Memories, and I knew you loved to sing it. I thank my Lord and Savior that He let us be together for those moments.
I will keep those Sweet Memories stored away for a short time.
And then I will treasure the day He allows us to play it again. I'll see you on the other side. |

Rob, my friend and brother, I will miss you so much... I cherish the times we shared onstage and off, the meals together, the laughs, and all of it that comes with being part of the steel convention family.
I know you're now being welcomed by Hal, Papa John, Ben, Bobby, and all the others we've lost in the past years. Sing well with them, my friend. |

I'm stunned. Rob was always there for steel players, and a very fine steel player himself. Many times Rob sang on my set at steel shows--I always knew it would be alright when Rob shared the stage with me. Rob was a man quick with encouragement for newr steel players, like myself. And oh what a fine voice Rob had. The highlight of the steel shows for my wife--to hear that wonderful voice singing a Ray Price tune. R.I.P. Brother Rob. James and Tree

| What a Shock,,, Linda and myself would like to give our condolences to Rob's family. This is very sad news to the steel guitar community. He always had a big smile and a deep voice. He asked me to join him and play steel on two of his shows. I was honored. We were planing to do it again next year. Linda and I will miss him. Thank you, Mr. Rob Parker, For the good times. |

I was unable to speak at first. I do want to add my sadness to everyone elses. He encouraged me twisted arms for me. Stood by me made me feel special. I know by all the wonderful posts. He was a gift to all of you as well. I will so miss him. When he would call He would say Hello Darrrrllin'. He had a voice made to be heard. A character for all to strive for. A friend, a talent, a giver. I love you and miss you my dear friend...Jean DeVore
