Mitzi, So sorry for your loss.You'll be in my prayers.

Mitzi, we were so sorry to hear of Bobby's passing. It seems like only yesterday when we all had so many good times at the Orchard. Memories that will forever make us smile. Know that our thoughts and prayers are with you.

RIP Bobby...Know that Mitzi and all of your family are in our prayers. YOU ARE THE MAN. Jack and Anita Zindorf

Thank you Bobby for your service to the citizens of the Dayton community!!!!  So glad that we had the chance to share high school memories!!!  Doug Holdeman

Karen and Suzy, please know that you and your families are in our thoughts and prayers. So very sorry for the loss of your brother, Bobby.

So sorry to hear about Bob.  He was my best man in my first wedding years ago.  We had a lot of great times with our "Walbash Gang" years ago.  RIP in Bobby

You were always one of the good guys. My prayers go out to you, Mitzi, and your family.

I would meet Robert occasionally in work situations right after he graduated from the academy and even much later.  As a prosecutor for Montgomery County and as chief magistrate for the Juvenile Court, I always saw him with the same smile as published in his obituary.  I only knew him as having a great reputation in the local legal system.  He is missed.

Bob wasn't more powerful than a locomotive--but he could take care of business in a tustle, he couldn't leap tall buildings in a single bound--he did jump over a few fences, but, he could  brighten your day with a wink & a smile which made him a super man!

Mitzi,
We were sorry to hear about Bobby's death. Regrettably, George and I are both sick with the flu and will be unable to attend his services.  Our thoughts and prayers will be with you.

Rest in Peace Bobby. I will always remember the fun times all of us had back in the day.. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. (Thinking of you Mitzi)

Your smile and tender demeanor made you a man among men!  You always had kind words and a smile for EVERYONE. You will be greatly missed. God Bless you and Keep you until we meet again.

I knew Bobby after he got out of the Academy and was Bill Hatfield's rookie. Always a smile and kind word, always willing to help in times of need.  My heart smiles at the MANY fun times, cookouts, dinners and trips to Ludlow Falls at Christmas.  Bless You Bobby, my heart is broken at your passing. I hope you know how much you were loved, and will be missed, by all who knew you.  My thoughts and prayers to  family, brothers and sisters in blue, and friends. God got another GOOD one.

Mitzi, We are so sorry to hear about Bobby, you are in our prayers.
Barb & J.T.

Bob was a great guy who always greeted you with a warm smile, no matter if it was 10 days or 10 years since you last met! I have many young memories from E.J.Brown & Colonel White & Stumps that all include Bob, they will warm my heart at this time & always! Our loss is Heavens gain, he will be on watch from above!  Prayers to the family & all who will be missing one of Dayton's best!

Karen.  I'm so sorry about the loss of your brother. Prayers for you and your family.

Bless you Bobby, may the Lord hold you in the palm of his hand. Karen, may you always remember how gifted you were to be his sister.

Bobby You were a good man, and I enjoyed knowing you!

It's been many years since I've seen you. Far too young to pass away. Your grandmother Lillian Kuehn was my great aunt; we were 2nd cousins.

Bobby, we love and miss you. You were a fantastic brother in law and uncle. You are a great noble soul of the law. May you rest in the wings of the Angels in the light of Heaven. We love you forever love Sherry, April and Nathan.

Roger DeLong, (DPD Retired)

With a heavy heart I am sad to hear of your passing Bob....from our childhood days, high school football days, our first job at Stumps together, going through the DPD academy together, sharing our first apartment together on Burkhardt Ave, our retirement together, joining Montgomery County Sheriff's office and then working Dayton Courts together as court bailiffs...we had a lot of laughs, good times and treasured moments.  A true friend, college and Police-officer.  I will truly miss you!  Love, Greg and Cathy Jackson

RIP Bobby, You always had a smile that we will never forget.  Peace be with your family.

Love and miss you Bobby...... you always made my day better, no matter what! Your friend always, Linda Naginey

I fell in love with Bobby when I met him at the Dayton Art Institute. I've never looked back and was honored to work with the beautiful person he is! I love and miss you Bobby. Your friend always, Linda Naginey

RIP Bobby.  Working with you was an honor.  Great memories.

Rest in peace.  Condolences to your family and law enforcement family and friends.

My deepest condolences to the family of Robert (Bobbie) Knox's. I meet Robert many years ago when I lived next to him. Robert always was a kind caring person, who I personally never heard him spike unkindly of anyone. I would occasionally cross his pass when he was on duty and we would always update each other on mutual friends. Bobbie dedicated his life helping others and will have a special place for him in heaven. Rest in peace my friend.
