Worked with Bob for many years in Chicago.  He was a good man and and  Inspector. Bob was always upbeat and had a smile for everyone. Looking at the photos,  it appears he enjoyed his retirement.  My condolences and prayers to all the family.

What a true honor and joy it was to work with and know Bob while being a postal inspector in Chicago. May you Rest In Peace my friend and forever be in the arms of Jesus.

I worked with Bob in the early 1980s in Chicago.  Bob was a great law enforcement partner both in the field and in the office.  

My condolences to Bob's family.  I know you are very proud of  Bob.

I have attached a photo of Bob receiving an award for his work accomplishments from the Postal Inspector in Charge, Chicago Division.  The photo shows Bob wearing his revered U.S. Army Field Jacket.  Bob would always wear it whenever he conducted field investigations.   Take Care, Jeff Sack

Worked with Bob many years great inspector and person, as was his wife Thelma. Have thought of both frequently.



I worked with Bob for many years in Chicago. He was both a great guy and a fine Inspector.

I always enjoyed working with Bob on cases.  He provided valuable insight and perspective which I sincerely appreciated.  He was a top notch investigator and when I knew he had my back, I had fewer concerns while working on under-cover situations.  He was also a good friend and colleague.   The last time I was in Vegas, pre-pandemic, we got together at a restaurant to reconnect and talk about old times working together.  I will miss him.  I wish his family peace and health.
