Dear Karen and children, I didn't know Rob, but he was a Sommers; and it was a name just so associated with Wintersville. If you grew up here in the past 70 years, you knew a "Sommers kid." How sad one so young has passed. My heart goes out to you, Karen, for the loss of a precious child. May you all take some comfort in the fact that obviously so many people knew and loved him. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Mrs. Sommers, Jeff ,Tag and the entire family,Very sorry for the loss of Rob. I have the greatest childhood memories with Robbie playing and winning championships every single year with the Reds and the Cardinals. I always thought how cool it was that Robbie's brothers were so involved in his baseball career. From Jeff coaching us when Coach Shively was unavailable to Tag pitching batting practice trying to simulate an upcoming fast pitching team. I can picture Rob right now playing shortstop and wearing his batting glove under his mitt. God bless you and your family.

Sommers family......Robbie will definitely be missed. He will be in my heart forever. I was one of the crazy neighborhood kids that played will Robbie. He was a staple in my childhood. Then I recently had a final memory with him at Brian Sullivan's funeral. We hung out. Him, me, Lynnette, & Stan. We said our final I love you's out loud. I'll never forget those moments. However, with deepest sympathys I will not be able to attend on sat. I'm going through chemo and will be too sick to travel at this time. I'm saddened that I won't give him a proper good bye but maybe that day out love you's were our goodbye. I love you RobbieCondolences to your family. Love,Sheri Rish

Dear Karen, Jeff, and Tag,Please accept my deepest prayers and sympathy at Rob's passing. For a few years there as kids, Robbie and I spent a lot of time together; from delivering the Herald Star, to playing in the pool or IntelliVision in the basement, or hours on end in the front yard playing catch. And while Robbie and I went our own ways in high school and beyond, those childhood memories ever remain, and fondly so. Again, please accept my deepest condolences. -Greg Lamatrice

Karen~ My heart aches for you as you face losing a child. My prayers go out to you and the family. Rob was the one of the first people I met when we moved to Wintersville in 1981. Though we lost touch, I have very fond memories of Rob, Mark C., and I just hanging out in the tree house. As he passes, so dies another part of my youth. May he rest in peace.

Dear Mrs. Sommers, Jeff, Tag, and families,Please accept my sympathies on Robbie's passing. He spent so much time at our house with my brother Mark while growing up. I still see the two of them in the treehouse they built in Izzy's front yard. And he never gave me any trouble when I baby-sat him. You are all in my prayers.
