It's hard to imagine someone living a more meaningful life. Everything Bob did was for his family, his friends and his community. His kind acts were purposeful and genuine, unexpected and at times extravagant, or quiet and personal. It's who he was, it's a family thing.
So grateful to have shared a piece of Bobby's amazing life!

When i heard of Bobby passing -I Felt a part of me died too. Bobby was like family to me. He was one of my back officers at the HPD for 17 years. I remembered around 1994 i got peppered sprayed and he droved me home in his patrol car and waited for me to wash off and changed. Then he brought me back to my patrol car. This is the kind of officer and person he was(very Caring). My deepest sympathy to you Kathy And Annie( my classmate) and Bobby family. RIP My Brother IN Blue.
