Bethel Reformed Church pastor retires after 34 years with the congregation
STERLING – Tragedy introduced Cheryl Robinson to “one of the most compassionate, dedicated men” she has ever known.

A police chaplain, Zuithoff came to Robinson when her 19-year-old son, Patrick Robinson, committed suicide in June 2005.
