Words can’t convey my sympathy to the family. We grew up together in Mexico, were in the same kindergarten class, and graduated high school together. I have countless tales of great times together. Bob was certainly a special person to all who knew him and I am blessed to have known Bob, Kim. David, Linda, Jack, and Kathy. Our memories live on.

I had the privilege of knowing Bob since the 7th grade. He was always so nice. Never had a bad or mean word to say about anyone. After high school, I would run into him from time to time, always making a point to say hi. I had the privilege of seeing him within the last year a couple times when he brought his wonderful Dad into the accounting office I work at in Peru. I walked right by him and didn’t realize it was him. I turned around and said “Bob?”. He looked at me and said “JoAnne?”. I hadn’t seen him since our 25th high school reunion. He held out his arms and said “Come here and give me some sugar (hug).” We talked for awhile about our kids, about his son and my daughter both being at IU. Same old Bob. Such a nice guy from an exemplary family. My deepest sympathies to Kathy, their kids and Kim.

So very sorry to see this. Bob was a wonderful person and came from a wonderful family. I loved his parents also! It is so sad when one family goes through so much sadness and tragedy. It is comforting that Bob will be reunited with his parents and brother now. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.

I met Bob when he was working for the Indiana State Highway Dept. He was hired as summer help while he was on summer break from college. I really didn't know Bob before that but he sure left a lasting impression on me. A great guy from a great family. Sometimes life seems unfair. It seems that too often the nicest of families suffer the most tragedy. God bless your family. I feel honored to have known you.

Words cannot express the heaviness of this event. Bob was always a true friend, caring, willing to help when others would not. GOD BLESS THE RICH FAMILY they will always be remembered by communities they touched, officers they mentored and the always friendly smiles and greetings they gave to anyone who met them.
True examples of Christian Virtues and Commitment to more than themselves.

Bob (Kline) and I went to high school with Bob Rich's parents, and we were good friends. We didn't meet Bob until he moved to Culver as an adult and married with children. We immediately found that he was the epitome of kindness, decency, and good natured-goodness just like his parents. I remember especially his coaching soccer and baseball. After a game, he would pull the boys aside and ask if they had a good time and what was the best thing about the game. He was always positive and so caring about the kids. He had so much to be proud of with his three beautiful kids of his own and always beamed when we would comment about their accomplishments.
One story Bob loved to tell was about one night right before Thanksgiving when he was commanding a police search for two murder suspects. The search was focused on the acreage around our farm, and there were roadblocks all around. Bob Kline couldn't get to his house after he had been in town at a basketball game, and not realizing the seriousness of the search,
Bob K kept calling Bob R (who was totally immersed in commanding the search) insisting that he could just slip through the road block because he had to get home to bake the pumpkin pies for the next day's Thanksgiving dinner. Bob Rich would just laugh at that story, of course, embellishing it a bit each time he told it. In loving memory, Carolyn Kline
