Bob was one of the sharpest supervisors I ever worked for. He was fair and understanding and fun to be around. His sense of humor was what made him special to all of us in the squad. Sorry to hear of his passing. Rest in Peace Bob.

I knew Bob for 38 years. I worked for him on the Tucson Police Dept.,and he was one of the best and gutiest supervisors I ever had, or saw. It would take many pages to list the things we went through, and did both at work and off duty. I will have many memories of a good man, and friend. God Bless!
