ROBERT M. LONGER

For the Longer family, Lauren, and Anthony,
With deepest regard for your loss, hope you stay well.

Mrs. Longer and family:

Bob and I were on the job together for about 30 years, until I retired in "99". I always enjoyed his company.

My sympathies in your loss.

Michael A. Niece, Captain Retired

Ruth and I extend our condolences to Marce, Anthony and Lauren on the passing of Bob Longer, a wonderful individual. I met Bob at Ohio State University and had the opportunity to see him in both OSU football and ROTC Army uniforms. He was a scholar, an English major, had a great sense of humor and was respected by all. We did a lot together at OSU and although I had not seen him in recent years we had a great telephone conversation in mid Dec., 2009.
Bob will be...

Bob was my first Superior Officer on the job in the 'old' 5th District on C platoon in 1981. His view of many things we would discuss and what really mattered to him in this life helped shape my attitude on this crazy job for the next 28 years.
Bob never let the job overshadow his concern for those he truly cared about.
I wil always admire his outlook on life. God Bless his family.

I knew Bob when he was a patrolman in
the Sixth District. Even then I thought that he was a special person. I'm sure he will be greatly missed by all.

Jim Parkinson retired Capt. CPD

Mrs. Longer, Anthony and family: Tomorrow I will have the honor of carrying the Captain to his final resting place. I regret that he did not get the opportunity to enjoy the retirement and time spent with you that he so faithfully earned. He was a unique man and loyal servant of this country and city, and is an example of how leaders should act. Our prayers are with all of you today and in the tough times ahead.

P.O. Tom Ross
4th District

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Dear Longer Family,

I'd like to extend my sympathies through this tough time. I will be sure to keep you in my prayers

God Bless
Jim Flannery

To the Longer family:
My sincere condolences on your loss of Bob. Bob was a fellow classmate football player and friend. I will always remember our times together playing football and riding home in my car after practice.
I was sorry to hear of his passing.
