I will definitely miss hearing Rob playing the organ at Trinity. He is such a gifted musician and is definitely reflected in his improvisations and wonderfully arranged hymn accompaniments. God bless you and your family!

Rob's work at the organ console - leading the hymn singing and weaving the liturgical choreography into a cohesive expression of drama and mystery - has made him into the Episcopal Church's modern day version of Paul Manz. You can't do much better than that. BRAVO!
