Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

I want to say that that one of your officers, Bob kazminski, will forever be in my heart and soul. He was one of the only officers that treated me with compassion when I was going through one of the hardest times of my life. I know the other officers that dealt with me just had enough of me, and they were not very nice to me to say the least, and would roughly haul me to jail. However, I can only imagine how stressful their jobs are and they are flawed people just like the rest of us, sometimes making mistakes. What I want to say though is officer Kazminski arrested me one day. I think for disorderly conduct. I tried strangling myself with the seatbelt while he was outside talking to my mother and brother. I remember looking at them and wondering why they didnt love me. So I thought. I was so very depressed, angry and just unable.to handle my feelings of deep sadness which I often took out in rage. Officer Kazminski opened the door saying,"why are u doing this!" But he didnt hurt me and I vould feel his compassion. Instead of bringing me to jail, he brought me to Network 180 to have me evaluated because I know he knew I needed help. I don't really remember what happened or where I went after that. Things r pretty foggy. It was so sad because I found out he was shot in the line of duty going to a call on a domestic. My heart broke. I couldnt get him out of my head because of the compassion he showed me. I was once again put in jail, and remember thinking of him all the time. Envisioning what must have happened that tragic day he died and thinking about his family even though I had no idea who they were, and rembering the day I met him. It haunted me and I prayed for his family all the time. The noble officer who showed compassion to me when I most definately needed it. A fallen beautiful soldier. May God always be with his loved ones,while hes in Heavan. Officer Kazminski...I will always remember you and u will always have a special place in my heart. God bless you and all those who have tragically lost their lives while doing their jobs. Trying to protect us.

Bobby,

You were taken from Earth at 01:43 this morning 6 years ago today by a "COWARD" who could not face his own demons and just needed God in his life. You were left alone all by yourself and in the back by the garage by yourself. Other officers and a Sgt. looking at you when you were taken from Earth. They live on and you don't. You lay in Eternal Peace Brother while the others do the same to another.

God Bless Mr. and Mrs. Kozminski and family.

Thanks Sgt. Wu for your words of wisedom. You are one who has done so very much for Kailey and the rest of the family and I know Koz feels the love and is so grateful to have a man like you watching over his family. I'll keep to myself what I believe my good friend would say of someone questioning the courage of his fellow GRPD brothers and sisters but yet he himself not courageous enough to leave his name.

I love you bro and miss the old days. Sgt Wu and I, will continue to look out for your prize possession, Kailey, and continue to honor you and your sacrifice in everyway possible... and I will be your voice when I feel I need to be. Today, right now, I needed to be!

As your birthday approaches, we are reminded of your sacrifice that night. We remember your sacrifice often and will do so this weekend at a softball tournament named in your honor.

To the "officer" from Michigan, this is not the venue to voice your concerns over that night's incident. Feel free to ask your questions to the sergeant that was on scene that night. He will be more than happy to discuss your concerns. We learned many things that night; most significantly, was that Koz’s sacrifice saved the lives of other officers.

I was thinking of you today, wondering what you'd be doing today if you were still here. I imagined you attended Mass, took Kailey to the lake, and then maybe had an evening tee time with me, Brad, and Joe.

Bob,

It's your Birthday soon buddy and happy birthday. There is not a day that goes by that you are in my thoughts as well as your family. I still wonder why you where back behind that house by yourself when there were 4 others on scene including a Sgt. It's like you were completely forgot about since you went unaccounted for for 4mins. and 32 secs after that fatal shot. You are always missed by several every day.
