Not sure what to say?

I'm of one of those 800 cases he worked while with the prosecutor's office, and I'm seeing this as I was calling him for more help. Sorry I didn't say something sooner, but I'll say it now--you're my hero, Robert Baumgartner. Thank you.

Betsy our deepest condolences on the loss of your brother Barry and Pam Marshall

I knew Rex when I was younger from Memorial United Church of Christ where I attended with my mom, Gerrie Specht, and my brothers. My deepest condolences to all of you. May he rest in peace Hugs and blessings to you and your families Becky Stults-Verbosky

Our deepest Sympathy Linda an family. Im so sorry. Carl an Colleen Cole.

I do not know Mr. Baumgartner but from my service as a City of Toledo employee I know this. For a Police Officer to serve beyond 33 years is service above and beyond the call of Duty! So what does he do after he retires? He "saddles up" for another 14 years! He deserves a statue or a police building named after him. With great respect, RIP

Linda I remember you as my cousin and feel sadness at the loss of your husband. May he rest in peace .

Charmaine and Betsy, so sorry for loss. I remember your brother as a such a nice boy many years ago. Love and prayers to all.

Linda, I'm so deeply sorry to hear about your husband's passing. I didnt know him personally but loved hearing the stories you would share and the love in your eyes when you spoke about him. He sounds like a extraordinary man with a big heart. May peace be with you and your family in the days to come.

Bob was a supervisor in the detective bureau when I came on TPD in 1984. I had some contact with him, and he was always approachable and willing to offer advice. He was a good cop, and a good man. RIH Bob!!
