Sometimes, once in a great while, there comes along a truly good man. My father was that man. He was the lighthouse in our family, and his light will never go out.

Dear Aunt Vivian and family. We were saddened to hear about Uncle Bobby's passing. I wish we weren't so far away and could have been to more family reunions. Though far too few, I have great memories of you both and offer prayers of heartfelt condolences. We have hope and faith in the resurrection to meet again.

I am saddened to learn of Bobby's death. He and my dad worked so closely together for many years in the Detective Division and he was always so kind to me. After my dad's death, he was always so good to keep me informed about happenings of the PD people that I had grown up with. He was like my Facebook of the department. I miss those times of communication that kept me in touch. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family.
