To All:

I wanted to share some sad news. Rob Schultz passed away of a heart attack Saturday.
Rob was an active member of the Syosset Woodbury Club for over ten years. Whenever we needed a helping hand, Rob was there. We could always depend on him.
He was terrific. We will miss him terribly.

His obituary is below. We are not aware of a showing or a mass at this time. I will let you know if I hear anything.

Moira
