I am so saddened about Bob's passing away. He has been my loyal friend since I started working at the "Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office" 15 years ago. He was always there when I needed a laugh or someone to talk to. Bob always knew how to brighten the day with his silly jokes and funny stories, and of course his walking on his knee's was the absolute funniest thing I ever witnessed. Bob was a very caring and kind person and one of absolute integrity, honesty, loyalty, dependability and trust. He was always loyal to his family, his friends, and his country. I will miss him tremendously. Rest in peace my friend.

Bob, although you left us much to soon your spirt will be with us forever. I have to honestly say each and every conversation I have had with you over the past 25 years, in particular my first few years on the job, were always filled with laughter and a chuckle. You were always able to make someone laugh and smile. Few people in the world have this gift. You were a great friend and patriot, and I will certainly miss you. I thank God that I was blessed to meet you and I will forever remember you calling me Ponchorello and stating I should open Ponches Prop shop for all the propellers that I broke while boating with you. Rest in peace my dear friend.
