Robert "Rex" Baumgartner

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!!

I remember how helpful " Bumpy" was to the Adult Protective Services Unit when he first joined the Prosecutor´s Office years ago. Rest in Peace

We are so sad to hear of Rex's passing. You are all in our prayers. We thank him for his service and dedication. Wolfe family.

I met "Bumpy" as a new assistant prosecutor in 1976 and handled a few of his cases. He was a first class detective and set up quite a few successful stings. I left criminal law after four years, but returned to the prosecutor´s office in the appellate division in 2006. By then, Bob was was working as an investigator in the same office that I was in, so we got to reminisce quite often until I retired for good in 2016. Toledo was a better place with Det. Baumgartner in it.

Dear Charmaine and Baumgartner family, I am sorry for your loss. Robert was a remarkable, kind and very engaged man; how wonderful to be related to such a guy. Know that you are in heart, and I do believe that such a good soul is already traveling the universe with the angels. I hope you hear so many stories that lift your heavy hearts, even if just for a moment. all my prayers, Dave Barciz
