I just found out about Rob's passing today. I was taken aback by the news. Rob and I worked together at the Bond Buyer back in the 1990's. Our desks were next to each other. We were a team of two getting Bond Buyer conferences developed, sold and executed.
I fondly remember many laughs during very stressful times and distinctly remember his support during the time right before my departure from the Bond Buyer. I am extremely thankful for having known Rob and pray for nothing but love and happiness for the family and friends.

Rob, Although it's been a long time from our high school days and also when you were in my wedding party to now where I'm at a loss to see you have left us and have went through so much pain. You were a lively, fun guy when we were growing up and we always had fun. I come by pictures sometimes of our fun and always brings me to a happier state. I'll miss you as well as your brother Joseph. May God watch out for you, Joseph and your sister in heaven. Nick

My sincerest condolences to all of Rob's family. Before leaving in 2014, I knew and worked with
Rob during my 12 years at SourceMedia. Besides his always optimistic attitude at attacking challenges at work, I remember Rob for his love of family. He always shared that joyous part of his life and spoke so proudly of his children.
May your family remember the joy you all shared that he spoke of so dearly.

To the family and friends of Rob, I'm sorry for your loss. I also lost a close family member to this diagnosis. What sustains me is God's promise for the time when no one will say "I am sick" Isaiah 33:24 and the time when we will see our loved ones again Isaiah 26:19

Sadly I never had the chance to meet Rob, but by all accounts, he was an outstanding man. I was lucky enough to work with his brother-in-law when he also lived in Larchmont with his young family, and I still consider him a good friend today. AJ only had great things to say about Rob, seemingly the same as all others. My thoughts and sincere condolences are with the entire Whitaker and Maggio families, and may Rob now rest in peace... Amen.

Rob lit a light in many hearts. We met as respected competitors and always shared a warm handshake and sincere wishes for continued success. While we didn't speak regularly we shared e-mail or a quick call just to say hello. Rob was a true gentleman and I will miss him. I light this candle for a life well lived albeit way too short.

Rob and I had a very loud, very strange work relationship...for 18 years. But he trusted me...and I respected him. He fought so hard...armed with those green homemade smoothies...I thought he’d be the miracle. He fought so hard...you forgot he was fighting. Today was a beautiful day to ride the Chariot home. God rest his soul. Jesus comfort your hearts. The Spirit send you his love. Amen

I want to send my prayers to Rob's whole family!! I met Rob when he was about 7 when he and his family moved across the street from me in Lyndhurst. we spent a lot of time playing and having fun with the neighborhood kids. Rob was funny and always had a great sense of humor. Time gets away from us and we grow up and move through life. God needed another angel around the throne tonight so he asked Rob to join his sister and brother!!! LOve you guys!!!

My condolence to the family of Mr. Whitaker. I understand the pain of losing a loved one in death. I just loss my dear brother in November 2017. These are sad times but at Psalm forty six verse ten, God has promise to be a refuge and strength and help during times of distress.

Sweet Courtney and Family,
Oh, how I remember the sweet love of you and Robert. So kind, so genuine, so sincere. What a fine gentleman, husband and father. I'll always remember our time together at Heather's wedding at The Houstonian. We had so much fun. Although, above all?! I celebrate in this moment his beautiful spirit that will was and will always be forever captivating. An amazing father and gentle soul. I love you, Courtney. I'm here for you with open arms, my friend. Lifting you up in my prayers for comfort, peace and strength. Love you.

I am so sad to hear this news. Rob is the publisher who first gave me the opportunity to be in Accounting Today!!! After I wrote one article we spoke about how he could help publish me and build me as a Brand. I knew he was sick, but I never said Thank You. Thank You Rob for the impact you had on my career. He was a genuine good person. My thoughts and prayers are with your family. I am so sorry for your loss.

Courtney, Claire, Jack, & Michael it was very sad to hear from my daughter Kerry yesterday about Rob’s passing. He was an amazing person & such a great fun friend to the Sneyd’s. They will miss him very much. Peter and I met him a number of times & he always had a smile and a joke. I will always remember him at Gavin’s seventh Pirate Birthday party. I’m not sure who had more fun, Rob & Andrew or the kids! We offer our heartfelt condolences at this time. Courtney we are thinking of you with love.

Hard to put into words the sadness we feel when we heard the news this morning - Rob and I spent so much time together at SourceMedia - countless lunches together just the two of us - trips to events together, golfing on courses we had no business playing on - dinners at restaurants we had no business being in...I enjoyed him as a colleague, I admired him as a friend and all-around great person - and I knew how much he LOVED Courtney and the kids - he talked about you all so much all the time - how he built a doll bed for Claire, he was so proud of that...I can only express my sincerest sympathy and condolences to all of the family - I am deeply sorry for your loss and I hope God shed's his perpetual light on Rob in Heaven - and on Courtney, Claire, Jack and Michael - Rob loved you all so much - please know that for as long as you walk this path one day at a time - with much love, Dan and Linda Rubinetti

I did not have the privilege of meeting Rob but certainly felt like I knew him a little from his C-Notes - every one of which I read. His writings gave me inspiration and ALWAYS made me laugh - he amazed me with his buoyancy of spirit - My heartfelt condolences to all who loved him.

Dear Whitaker family Only had the opportunity to meet Rob once - and that was at MSK where I sat in the waiting room with my son and Rob waiting for treatment.. He was the ultimate gentleman and such a funny, personable man.. My son has spoken of him often as they journeyed thru cancer therapy together. My condolences to all of you.

I knew Rob for many years and enjoyed some of my best times running around with him, Jack, Kurt, Patrick and the rest of the zany great group from - and connected to - Source Media. Whenever we were together there was laughter, libations, great food, fantastic pubs, camaraderie and boundless friendship. Just saw this news moments ago and I sit here writing this with tears running down my face and deep condolences for Rob's wonderful family. God bless to a great guy...
