Not sure what to say?

Jeff Mulvey, if you are the guy I went to school with at Rogers High School, I sure wish I had gotten to know your dad better. I've looked for your name on and off thru the years and came across this, I think your dad's, obit. So sad to hear of this great man's passing. How I wish I could have heard some of his stories. You can contact me via gmail or on FaceBook. And if this is not the Jeff I think it is, please accept my well wishes for you and your family, and let me say I think your...

It has been my honor to have known Bob for the past 9 years. As a Grand Rapids Police officer, it was my privilege to have had Bob as a guest speaker at two of the departments leadership conferences. He had the respect of me and many of my fellow officers at the GRPD. I enjoyed the frequent visits I had with Bob and Donna. No doubt they are together again in the arms of God.

Bob Mulvey was a wonderful friend and neighbor to us. He was always ready to visit. We spent much time listening to stories. We are proud to have had such a hero next door. He will be sadly missed.

Jamie, I was sorry to read about the loss of your Dad. I remember knowing him when I would go to your house after school at Rogers Lane. Thanks to him for his Navy service. In April we took my Dad to the WWII Memorial in Washington and it was very special. Also know that every September 27...I think of you. Some memories and friends never fade. I hope you are well.

It was an honor and privilege to know Bill. To sit in his driveway in lawn chairs and have a cup of coffee, and have him show me all the details of the Indy in his model of the ship. Having served in the Navy, he makes me proud to have done so.
