Rohal brothers served UH for a combined 69 years

To the Editor:

It has been a long run, and a good run. On October 24, 2013, Patrolman Dennis W. Rohal retired from the University Heights Police Department with 28 years of dedicated, professional service.

This closed the book on nearly 44 years of continuous service by the Rohal brothers, starting in 1970. James B. Rohal, former deputy chief, retired in 2011 after 41 years with the department.  

It was an honor and privilege to serve the fine citizens of this city. University Heights was like our second home. We have seen the city stand strong with exceptional employees, civic-minded politicians, and involved caring residents and business people. We have laughed and cried with the city and would not change any of our experiences. We will miss the daily interactions with everyone. We both served to the best of our abilities, and hold the city and its people close to our hearts.

The Rohals are thankful to have served in a profession we enjoyed immensely. University Heights is an excellent city in which to work, live and raise families, and prosper in business. We wish the city continued success and bid farewell to those we served.
