The news of Rob's passing came as a real shock to me. I didn't know that he'd been ill - he always seemed so happy and well. Tragic news indeed.

RIP Rob.

I've known Rash for the best part of 30 years. Sad news indeed. So young......

Bloody hell...Rash took me to Chimbu in a Talair 402 when I first started at Simbu Aviation...we worked together for years in Talair later...what took him so young?

I knew Rash from MBA days. Not very well but enough to know that he was a gentleman who truly deserved the respect afforded to him.

A sad loss. My condolences to the Rachinger family and all of Rob's friends.
