BLOOMINGTON – Bloomington Fire Department and the City of Bloomington commemorate the life and mourn the loss of active firefighter Robert “Bob” Loviscek, Jr.
Logistics Officer Loviscek served our Bloomington community for more than 20 years and received many honors throughout his career. Bob was a 1987 graduate of Cardinal Ritter High School, a United States Marines Veteran, and was the past president of Union Local 586 and the Sixth District Vice-president of Professional Firefighters Union of Indiana.
“When someone earns the title of firefighter, they do so making a life-long commitment of self-sacrifice and putting service over self. Bob Loviscek spent his life honoring that commitment and served our community well,” said Bloomington Fire Department Chief Jason Moore. “We sincerely appreciate the community support for Bob’s family and our department members as we try to navigate the world without Bob.”
“Bob Loviscek exemplified the qualities of dedication, professionalism, and selflessness that are hallmarks of those that serve in our fire department. Our community has particularly relied on public safety during these last few years and Bob was consistently here to serve this community,” said Mayor John Hamilton. “He will always have our respect and gratitude, and I personally will miss him greatly. Our hearts are with his family and his fire department family.”
