Bob, you will be so missed by everyone that ever had the opportunity to know you. The Alumni picnic will not be the same without you, we will lift a beverage in dedication to you. My deepest sympathies to your family, I know that all of you know how special Bob was to so many.
Heaven will be a wonderful for all of the bikers that will greet you as well as all of the police officers. Peace to you and your family.

To the Family, When we lose someone as beloved as Bob,, the words don't come easy. He was my friend, he made me laugh, and I loved him. We spent a lot of time talking about the Bible, trading crockpot recipes, and making fun of each others' political views. Thanks be to God that his suffering is over. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Sue, I am so sad to hear of Bob's passing. I am glad that I got to have breakfast with him when he was in Ohio last summer. Bob was one of the best and most dedicated police officers I ever had the pleasure to work with. Whenever I went on a call with him, I always knew that he "had my back". When I was a rookie cop and worked with him, he taught me a lot and I will never forget those times. He was truly a special friend and a unique character with that goofy grin and infectious sense of humor. My thoughts are with you and your family.

I went to high school with Bob and always looked forward to seeing him at the alumni picnic in August. My brother Bob Brisbin died the same day of cancer and he was also a Stow policeman. I am so sorry for your loss and mine. May God help us through this difficult time.

Dear Family, I would like to express my sincere condolences at the loss of your dear loved one. Please be assured that your tears are not unnoticed by the Creator of Life. Although your deep pain will not easily disappear, praying to God will bring comfort to you as you grieve. The Bible tells us that God is "healing the broken-hearted ones and is binding up their painful spot (Psalm 147:3). May the "Father of tender mercies" and the "God of all comfort" strengthen your faith and give you courage to face the days ahead (2 Corinthians 1:3). My sincere condolences to the family.

Dear Susan, Joanne, Bob and family. I was blessed to know Bob and to say that he was a great guy would be an understatement. He is one of the good guys and I know he loved you guys amazingly so. May God Bless you all through these tough times. Randy
