This was shocking news to hear this morning. Tina grew up in the system and her absence will be very visible. She will be missed by her family and her Navy family.

The news of Tina's passing today was just heat breaking. Words cannot express how tragic it is to lose such a stellar sailor and friend at such a young age. There will be a hollow void in our QA shop without her talent, brilliant smile, quick wit and of course her smart ass remarks. Our hearts go out to Rob and family during this time of sorrow. Rest in peace my friend....we have the watch.

I was deeply saddened to hear this news. Tina will be sorely missed. Deepest condolences to Rob and the family.

Tina's passing was shocking and devastating, to lose somebody so young makes you stop and take another look at life. My condolences to Rob and the families and friends who mourn this tragic loss. I will miss you my fellow Long Islander, when I think of you I will think of your laugh, your smile, the NY Rangers, the NY Giants, and Seinfield. Till another time we meet be at peace!

Update from NOPF Dam Neck Commanding Officer:

We should know more over the next 24 hours and I will continue to provide you updates when I get them.

I am shocked and emotionally distressed to learn about Tina’s passing. I knew her via the SURTASS program and met Rob at one or two of the Cheatham Annex Memorial Day Camping outings. Tina was a remarkable woman and consummate professional who will be missed by all who knew her.

For Rob, know that you and yours are in our prayers. If there is anything we can do to help you, please ask and if it is within our power to accomplish we will gladly do it. Kara joins me in wishing you and yours our sincere condolences.
