He was a proud family man. Bobby and Linda loved traveling to Pismo Beach with their family and heading to Laughlin with their three side companions, Susan and Carlos Ozuna and Rachel Arias.

To me , Bob Aguilar was one of the best KCSO dispatchers ever, I worked patrol from 1973 to 1985, I worked North County Wasco/Shafter. He would always follow up to assure we were okay after arriving at our calls.

I was honored to have worked with Bobby many years at the County. We worked 10 years side-by-side in the combined Fire-Sheriff CommCenter located in the basement of the Jail 1970s to `80s. To simply state, we shared continuous laughter! After 9-1-1 was implemented 11-1995, we went our separate ways but occasionally visited. When we saw each other, the first thing we did was to laugh even without saying a word. I was very blessed to have known Bobby.
