To the Zygarowski Family, So sorry about Bob. You have my deepest sympathy. I missed this service, I'm sorry. What a great human being Bob was. For almost 10 years, he was substitute teacher at Holyoke High School. One of the few who still brought the paper in and after he read the Union, he drop it off in my room. We ate lunch together and talked about everything: politics, sports, obituaries, the police and the future of our country. I enjoyed...

Bob was a true friend to all. I always enjoyed talking with him. Most recently we shared a table at a birthday or anniversary party at the boathouse. He shared insight into Chicopee politics. He was considering running one more time. Always the voice of reason. He did it for his people. He was such a great guy. Prayers and warm hugs to his family and his friends. May he rest in eternal peace.

Dear Officer Bob & the Zygarowski family, I met Officer Bob at the D.A.R.E. Program at Selser School back in the late 90s.

He was one of the few people who saw past my troubled youth, he saw past my behavior problems and cared so much for me, i shed some tears as i type this but happy tears because i got to know...

I am terribly sorry to hear of the passing of Officer Bob. He was and still is someone I think back on fondly. He was my D.A.R.E. officer in 1997 and scared me when it came to drugs. He was so animated and amazing at what he did to teach us kids to "Just Say No!". Imagine my surprise when I walked into a classroom in a new school district only to find Officer Bob subbing the class six years later! As soon as I locked eyes with him, I yelled out "Aren't you Officer Bob" like he was a celebrity...
