Not sure what to say?

Every time Robert and I stop by Flying J in Ripon, we think of Bob. We used to always catch him patroling that area on our way in or out of town. We wish the Winget family a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Robert,
Missing you and thinking of you today on Memorial Day. You served with the Marines proudly. I love you so much,
Until we meet again,
Your ever loving wife "Mrs. Winget"

ON THIS, YOUR TWO YEAR ANNIVERSARY, MAY YOU REST IN PEACE, FAITHFUL SERVANT AND CLOSE FRIEND.

God Bless you Bob, we miss you

My name is Mike Walker and I was Bob's training officer for accident investigation on LAPD. Bob and I became good friends and went water skiing and snow skiing for several years. I am deeply saddened by his passing and I hope Chrissy and his children know how much he was loved. I miss you Bobby.

I would like to express my condolences to Bob "Wingnut"'s family. I met Bob when I was a Reserve, at Boating Officer School in Sacramento in... 1995? We were going around the room, describing our past boating experience and Bob piped up that he hadn't done much boating since the "Me Kong Delta." The whole class laughed, and I knew right then who I'd be hanging out with for the rest of the week!

Randomly, I got to see him the day I graduated Module D, headed to Tulare Co SO. As I...

Robert,
It doesn't seem possible that we've lived more than a half year without you. Your presence still fills this house with all your things but the jokester is missing, the "evil eye" the funny way you squented your eyes is missing, you sitting at the computer watching Discovery Channel is missing. It is still unfathomable to me that you are not returning home or meeting me for dinner or calling me on the phone. I love you so much. My heart will always ache for you. You were my...

I just heard the news of his passing, i was a young 22 year old LAPD officer when i would talk to him around Foothill Station. I used to think" Man, this guy really likes being a cop". I was hopeful i would like the job as much as he did.
Now, 25 years later and now 48 years old, i do. He was a funny guy and really a great person. May God bless him and carry his soul to heaven.

Daddy,
Tomorrow [the 10th] will be 4 months. It doesn't look like anyone has been to this page in a while so I just wanted to let you know that I still miss you soo soooooo much. Words can't even begin to describe. Today was 4 months since I last saw you. It's so hard daddy. Everyday I still expect you to walk in the door at 10pm, let us know how your shift went && all the neat things you && Topper did that day. It's just not fair. I'm soo blessed to have to you as a father. If I would...
