From then on, Rob’s physical condition gradually declined. He remained hopeful throughout his journey and diligently followed a ketogenic diet.

In April of 2024, Rob was able to see the eclipse in totality in Vermont with friends and family. Many of Rob’s friends and family visited all throughout his journey. He was still talking with us up until a couple weeks before his passing.
