My sincere condolences to the Sprague family. Bob took me under his wing 25years or so ago and not only did we share our friendship as fellow police officers, belonging to VFW Post 1018 and helping me join the Police Post Honor Guard. We shared many great times together and he always would make you laugh with the way he carried himself. I will miss you a lot Doc and thank you for being there for me.
