Bob was truly a GREAT Judge and served
his Santa Clara County community well! He

law enforement officers. My sincere condolences to his family. Peter Graves

A different perspective ... that of a career of bringing my police investigative matters, first to D.D.A. Bob Ahern, and before long, before Judge Ahern.

He started me out right in my early years; him as the D.A. assessing my work. Later I now brought many cases to his court, now complete with the refinements he expected. He never...

Judge Bob came to the San Diego Superior Court a couple of years ago to work as a traveling judge. We became close friends. I have many memories of Bob and enjoyed a wonderful dinner in La Jolla with Bob & Mimi as he finished his San Diego assignment. As I sit on the bench and decide matters, I often find myself asking "what would Bob do?" Bob is still with us, a fine family man, a great judge and a wonderful human being. God speed, my friend!

Bob and I were fellow Taccos in Patron 17 during 1962-1964. His efforts in 2001 resulted in a VP-17 reunion in Monterrey where we got reacquainted and played golf. I also had the pleasure of meeting and visitng with Mimi, his wonderful wife. Bob was liked by all and will be missed by all.

Bob and I were members of the same aircrew in Patron 17, he was our TACCO/Navigator. A better person I have yet to meet, nor do I believe I ever shall. Bob and I reaquainted online just after he retired, as we were both searching for old shipmates. I had retired from law enforcement and was also a Common Pleas (Superior) Court Bailiff in Ohio. We stayed in communication up until his recent illness became critical. We last met personally at our Squadron reunion in 2005.
I will greatly...
