  1. Bob was certainly one of a kind. His unique character is irreplacable.

  2. Bob was always kind to me during my time on the NLEOMF Board. He was always helpful and always ready to hear the "survivor's perspective" from me as C.O.P.S. National President. He was an asset to the NLEOMF Board and to C.O.P.S. and he will be missed.
