View all 156 ReflectionsHey Bob, went to the Northville Park yesterday they did a memorial for you a pavilion that over looks the little lake. Groff spoke and told how you would call out on a property check at the James Groff memorial park just to bust on him when you knew he was working. Now it's your park buddy I remember when you were field training me and said it was the James Groff park all while having that smile of yours. So I will say this in closing 3811 to dispatch show property check completed at the Robert J Johnson memorial park, all OK until we meet again my friend.
