EDITOR'S PICKS:
I used to work with Robert Herrera when he was a probation officer here in Yuma County Adult Probation Department in Yuma, AZ. He was a well like person who worked very well with people that were on probation. He was a caring person that would go out of the way to help them in any way possible. He will be missed. Rest in Peace friend.
