Retired Superintendent Robert (Bob) PATTISON sadly passed away on the 27th February 2025 at a Care Home in Toton, Nottinghamshire and not as previously reported. He was 93yrs of age and had been suffering a fairly long illness.

Bob was born in Malton, North Yorkshire and after school he trained as an Apprentice Motor Mechanic. He was called for National Service and joined the Army (REME) where he continued his Mechanical skills serving in Germany. He returned from National Service to be with his wife, Grace.

He joined the City Police aged 24 and lived in ‘digs’ at 107 Gregory Boulevard, Nottingham so he could be close to his work place.

Bob had been a widower for a number of years, his wife on many years, Grace having passed away some 7/8 years ago. He leaves sons, John and Mark, daughters Jane and Sarah, 9 Grand-children and 6 Great Grand-children.
