The world has lost a bright beacon with the passing of Robert. Robert was genuine in everything he did. Robert was bright, charming, and energetic. But Robert's most redeeming quality was his care and compassion for his fellow man. Robert was always concerned about what was going on with the people around him. From his time working the radio in BCI, to his time in the streets in the Night DB, and throughout his tenure as President of PBA-183, Robert looked out for his fellow men and women. Robert possessed a steadfastness, focus and resolve that centered on the truth of any circumstance. It was always an extreme pleasure to converse with Robert, and I shall miss our phone calls and text messaging dearly. I, and all my brothers and sisters, and the world in which we live have all lost bright and shining example of a true and faithful spirit.
May he Rest In Peace.
Robert always wanted the best for those around him and in this spirit, I send the heartfelt condolences of my family, on to Robert's family.
May God Bless and Keep You.
-G.B. Nash

I didn’t know Det. Slater personally but I attended the same class as him on the day that he passed away. From the way I heard him talk about his local and its members, it was evident that he truly had their backs and wanted the best for the men and women of the union that he served.

A truly great friend and an immeasurable loss. When I was injured, he went out of his way to help me—finding a doctor who played a crucial role in my recovery and constantly checking in to make sure I was okay. He never asked for anything in return, always putting others before himself, devoted to his fellow officers and those he cared about. There are very few true stand-up guys in this world, and he was one of them. I couldn’t have asked for a better friend. Barb, my heart goes out to you—I am so deeply sorry for your loss.
