Not sure what to say?

Karis - I am so sorry for your loss. Prayers are being sent to you.

I am very sorry I´m not able to be there unfortunately this arthritis controls my mobility sometimes. Anyway my prayers for the family, never do i forget those back yard basketball games and those baseball games with behind the meat market in the field with Bob. We all grew up together on that dead end street as one big family and had a lot of fun those memories will not be forgotten. Bob you were a very good friend and always be remembered as one may you rest in peace brother and god bless...

I worked as a dispatcher for MPD for a very short time under Chief Zink. He was one of the kindest and most wonderful people I've ever met and was so blessed to have him as a mentor. I am beyond sad to hear of his passing and will keep his family in my thoughts and prayers.

I worked with Bob at the Rec Center teaching "Stops and Approaches" for the CJTEC Police Academy. We was a wonderful, dedicated and loyal officer. I was honored to call him friend. He will be missed.

I worked with Bob at St. Luke's Hospital. Always kind and polite. My deepest condolences to his family

We spent over 25 years together at Maumee PD. Working out, on the road and in the Detective Bureau. So many good memories. A great person to work with, but mostly, a great friend.
