The Will To Live Foundation is so honored to have been associated with such a kind and loving man. As one of the kids of Will To Live so eloquently said.
“Rest Easy Coach Rob – Love Ya Man”
“Rob was not only one of my very best friends and Life Teammates, he was a driving force behind the Will To Live Foundation’s message of love and hope and being there for your friends. We are devastated by his passing, but we know that Rob would want us to reach out to our Life Teammates in this time of need, and get through this tragedy together! God Bless You Rob and all the Lowenthal family.” – John Trautwein
