It is with heavy heart that I read this. Bob was the utmost professional working with the communications centre. His ability to take charge when required and his ability to mentor new operators spoke more of the man then anything. His gentleman behaviour and his ability to be a calming influence in times of tragedy was very reassuring indeed. You will be missed and remembered. - Posted by: Stan Stone (Friend and co worker) on: Feb 05, 2019

To the entire Victoruk Family, I was extremely saddened to hear this tragic news about Bob. Bobby was a fixture around Rossmere and he will be missed by many. We all know the extraordinary work that he did, often for nothing, around the club. His passion for the club and the family of friends around him was second to none. My thoughts are with you at this very difficult time. Thanks Bobby for everything that you did...but more importantly, thanks for being a friend. RIP. - Posted by: Cameron Moskal (Friend) on: Feb 03, 2019

I went to high school with Bob and remembered him as a good guy. We both went on to work for WFPS, him upstairs in the Comm Center and me on the street. We talked a few times even though we were on different shifts. I am saddened by his early passing and extend my condolences to Bill and the rest of his family. - Posted by: Scott Miner (Friend) on: Feb 02, 2019

Bobby’s passing will leave a huge hole in our lives. To never see him at Rossmere, nor see him stretched out at Harry’s patio in Mesa, again is very sad indeed. He was a kind and generous man. We will miss you BoBo. - Posted by: Kathy and Peter Slezak (Friends) on: Jan 30, 2019
