The Altus Police Department has suffered another loss, with the recent passing of retired Detective Lieutenant, Robert "Bob" McGill. Detective McGill gave 23 years of faithful service to the community of Altus before retiring in 2015.
We are asking that our community come together tomorrow for the final farewell to show his family and loved ones support. If you would like to line the streets and hold a flag as his procession goes by, you are encouraged to do so.
We are estimating the timeframe to be appoximately 2:45 pm, tomorrow, on June 3rd. Bob will be escorted from the Kincannon Funeral Home, east on East Tamarack, south on Veterans Drive, and then east on Highway 62 towards Lawton. We hope to have a great turnout to show respect for one of our own.
