My sincere condolences to Bob's family. I met Bob through the 'Wednesday Night Pizza Group" and thoroughly enjoyed every visit with him. He was most interesting, a delight to be with and talk to. All who knew Bob will miss him greatly.

My sincere condolences to Bob's family.
I worked with Bob on my first full shift in the 3rd District, back in March of 1987.
Bob gave me the rand tour of the district and taught me a lot of things that I did not fully appreciate straight out of the training academy.
Later on I came to appreciate Bob's words of wisdom and his encyclopedic knowledge as the unofficial historian of the 3rd District.
I will truly miss you, my friend...
