View all 11 ReflectionsMy memories of Bob are all fond memories. I was called in off the street to assist him on a homicide case and he was very supportive and patient with me. I loved talking with Bob about hobbies and sharing war stories and the good old days in the Piqua PD. I am honored to have known and worked with him. He was a good man and a great law enforcement officer.
