I am sorry for your loss. I served with Bob in Baltimore for many years on the Drug Squad. We did surveillances from Baltimore to NYC on one case where we followed "bad guys" up to Brooklyn. Bob drove and we joked about him reverting to Brooklyn driving techniques when we got to the City. "Make no eye contact when you have to cut someone off". Wonderful guy with a great sense of humor. RIP

I worked with Bob in Baltimore and he was a great agent and a greater gentleman.

Worked with Bob in Baltimore in the 1970's. Nicknamed Braverho because he had previously been assigned to Houston Division (HO). I was thinking of Bob this weekend and was wondering where he had retired. I once delivered a truck load full of firewood to his house in Sykesville, MD. Bob was very practical and had a very wonderful personality. Being in his presence had a very calming and soothing effect on me. I am very sorry that we did not stay in contact for these many years. It was a privilege to have know Bob.
