Family remembers former sheriff as loving man of integrity ZANESVILLE - As sheriff for more than a decade in Muskingum County, Robert Stephenson was well-respected by many who knew him, but it's his family who admired him the most. "All in all, great man. They broke the mold after him," his son Shane said. "They don't even make them like that anymore. One hell of a man." Bob died on Feb. 28 at the age of 73. Born in Zanesville in 1947, he spent his entire life in the same home since he was 9 months old, leaving only briefly to serve in the Air Force where he was stationed in Japan and Montana.
