Our most sincere condolences to his mother Phyllis and his siblings. Rob was a good man devoted to his family and his science. I admired the battle he fought against a formidable disease and never let it stop his love of his favorite things. I am better having known him. God Speed Rob...

Mrs. Long, Mary, Jennie, and Jim, I am so sorry for your loss. Rob was funny, had a huge heart, and was truly one of the smartest people I've ever known. I have so many wonderful memories of him over the years, and one of my favorites was seeing the amazing Grand Canyon with him. He was like a drill sergeant as we hiked our way down, and then back up, and we did exactly what he said! We were exhausted, but weren't about to show it! He knew what you were capable of, and could push you to your limits in the best way possible. I will miss him dearly and he will never be forgotten. He's finally at peace with Dr. Long. I love you all!

Dear Long Family, My name is David Hill and I was honored to have Robert work in my lab at UNC. Robert was a wonderful person and we have missed him up here greatly. I am sorry that I am late in learning of his passing, but I wanted to let you know that I think of him often and appreciate all the hard work he did in his time at UNC. His impact on the lab is still felt today this day. Thank you for sharing him with us and my deepest condolences, David
