Tragedy...

may all who have his knives honour him by using them.

my prayers for family and friends.
 
God loves Rob more than we will ever know. Tears on earth but none in heaven. But Rob now knows how much his friends love and miss him.
 
If you'd like to send a card or contribute something to Rob's family, send it here.

Mrs. Christine Simonich
Box 278
Clancy, MT 59634

I'm sure it will be appreciated.
 
What an awful loss of one of the maker of many of my favorite knife designs. He will be missed terribly.
 
Rob's funeral will be 11AM, Saturday, December 6th, about an hour from Helena, MT, in a traditional indian ceremony. Details and directions will be posted on Rob's website no later than Wednesday. There will also be information on a contribution in lieu of flowers.

I've been moving for the past several days and just checked my mail. Some kind soul had e-mailed me a link about Rob and I thought it was somebody's idea of a sick joke... then I checked on here and saw it's really true. I feel like somebody just kicked me in the stomach. This just simply can't be. Rob is truly a great person as well as a great knifemaker. I'm so sorry for Christina and all Rob's family.

One thing's for sure, the Great Spirit has one hell of great knifemaker with him now, but our world is a whole lot smaller and darker for it.
 
My sincere condolences and prayers for Rob's family and the many people who are experiencing this great loss...

Rob was a good man.
We are so fragile.

Prayers for him and his family.

Now, in rippled arcs across the sky, the great white birds of winter fly;
and the wheel turns, and people change - scattered ashes to the wind.
 
This loss has been on my mind for the past few days now. Hard to find words- personal loss of a friend of his apparent character brings back many painful memories. I never spoke with Rob except through email and that is my loss and regret. I would like to have owned one of his knives but would have thrown that away for a phone call to place a voice and some "face time" with him.
To all who got to call him friend, I envy you.

To his wife and daughter, my prayers for a fast greiving and that every memory brings a smile and never again a tear. A man can only go so far on his own, it takes a strong women to take him above and beyond.

It was my good fortune to have been acquainted with Rob. One of the nicest people I've met and truly gifted in his field. We have lost a lot with his passing.

Having known him makes the pain of his loss greater but the honor of such makes it bearable.

Don't cry for the departed, for their trials are over. The tears we shed are for those of us who have to countinue on without them.

May he rest in peace and those he loved find the strength to carry on with only his memory.

Burt,

It was the least I could do for those unable to make the trip to Montana.
