I was at the hospital with Rob and his family until about 9:00pm last night. The good news is that Rob is going to recover. We have been told that he will have a long recovery (knowing Rob, he will beat the doctor’s prediction). As we all know, Rob is one of the “good guys” in our industry and a real class act. He has a strong, dedicated staff at Jobfox and I’m sure they will do a great job in his absence.
He was hit by a teen-age driver who was passing on a hill in a double yellow no-passing zone. He did his best to avoid a head-on collision. Unfortunately he had very little time to react. Doctors say his good physical condition helped him survive and will be very helpful in his recovery.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Rob and his wonderful family who we have gotten to know through these unfortunate circumstances.
