Rob was a top fur designer in New York and originated "fun furs" – mixing furs and patterns in new designs. He moved to Los Angeles "after it rained for 30 days straight" in New York City. He became a land developer and was instrumental in bringing the London Bridge to Lake Havasu City in Arizona. Rob loved to travel and Hong Kong was his favorite city – he became an expert in antique Chinese porcelain and carvings. Rob loved to cook and make a big mess in the kitchen, but his cooking was well worth the trouble. Rob loved "Pikes Peak" and really enjoyed viewing it from his porch, calling it "his mountain" Rob is survived by Rebecca, his wife of 40 plus years, his daughter Kimberly, his son Brian, his daughter Dawn and his precious granddaughter, Erin Kimberly. He is also survived by his brothers, Mark and Paul Plumer and their children.
