Michele and family,
I will miss Bob so much. He always asked me if I had his million dollars in the mail. Sorry I never delivered that to him but I sure delivered a lot of packages. I will miss his smiling face at the mailboxes. He always had a positive attitude and always made me laugh. I will miss his smile and comments when I deliver the mail. God's peace be with you, Michele.

Michel, Carol and I are keeping you in our prayers. We will miss Bob so much. I am so glad that I was able to get acquainted with a cousin that I never knew while growing up. I'm sure if I had we would have turned Berks County up-side-down. I have always considered Bob more of a brother than a cousin. We love you and we know that God will be your constant source of comfort. Jim Ramsay

Oh I'm so sorry to read of Bob's passing, Michel...I had no idea and it's been awhile now since I've seen you both at O'Grady's Restaurant. I enjoyed talking about Arizona with Bob while we worked at Agere. He was just a very nice man and I'm sure he will be missed by anyone who knew him. I'm praying for you to get through this most difficult time..Rest in peace, Bob..My deepest sympathies to you, Michel and his entire family

To the Ramsey Family
I served on the Rdg.Police force and
was on calls with Bob when he was K-9. I
thought he was a stand-up officer. I'm
sure he will be missed. God bless all of you.

I only knew Bob for several years but he was a good officer and person and I did learn a few "tricks of the trade" from him. May he rest in peace!! Ed Kosmerl, Retired Capt., RPD

Dear Michel, My heartfelt sympathy goes out to you. I only met you through working at Wells Fargo but in that short time I have grown to call you and Bob "friends". Please know that if you need anything you just need to ask. I will keep you in my prayers. God Bless, Barry

It is with a sad heart that I read of the passing of my friend and your family member. Bob was a good man, an excellent, compassionate officer, and a credit to all who knew him.
He will be dearly missed and fondly thought of.
May he RIP and dwell in Heaven with his K-9 partner, Baron, and all who went before.
