Ann and family…my deepest and heartfelt sympathies to all of you. The Lt. was my first boss at the jail and has taught me many things that I still live by today. He was a great man and will be truly missed.

I knew Bob for 7 years and was glad that I got to know him. I always enjoyed talking to him. When My mother(Beverly) would come home she would say that Bob asked how Becky was and I knew that it was time for another visit.

My condolences to the family. Lt. Mahler was my supervisor at LCP when I started there back in 1991. I truly appreciated his leadership and friendship. God Bless each and everyone of you!
