Mr. Glick was by far the most wonderful professor I ever had in college. He was a great friend and mentor and always pushed me to excel at whatever task was ahead of me. He was also my neighbor and we would engage in wonderful conversation and always had me laughing. He told amazing stories both inside the classroom and outside. His invites to Babes Chicken were always an honor and he would forward email jokes to me nonstop which were always worth reading. He was a father like figure to me and I took as many of his classes as I could. He made each class interesting and fun. I´ll never forget this man. Thank you for shaping my future and being a wonderful role model!

Friends always...

It was a great honor having known Bob Glick, who we affectionately called the "Chief". He always had an incredible sense of humor and could tell stories that would keep everyone laughing. A father to three special children I have known for almost 30 years and dedicated public servant throughout his life.

A special soul who will be sorely missed by all who knew him, but remembered fondly by all he has touched. Thank you for all the wonderful memories Chief Bob. Our heartfelt condolences to the entire Glick family.

I love you, Dad. I can't even express how much your advice, love & our laughs have meant to me these past few years. I am proud to say that you were my very best friend, my unconditional supporter, and my beloved confidant. I will miss you as long as I live.

Love forever,
"Sis"

I was blessed to share a backyard fence with Bob Glick! There has never been a nicer, kinder, more caring neighbor than Bob. It has been a joy knowing him all of these years! I will miss him so much! I will miss his posts on Facebook of police cars from years past. I will miss his voice calling over the fence when we all were in our yards. I will miss the security of knowing I could call on him for help at anytime and he would be there. Rest in peace my friend!

I had the privilege of meeting and working with Bob Glick at Tarrant County College Police Academy from about 2001 to 2009. This was perhaps the most dynamic sounding and speaking man I have ever met in my life. His bigger than life personality of joy and kindness was genuine. His voice was made for television and radio. He set a very good example for police cadets. His courage and intellect exceeded that of most men. Throughout his life, he accomplished and endured more than a lot of men dream. Most of all his friendship and honesty will be missed. It is and was an honor to know Bob Glick. He was a very good man. He loved his country and his family. I ask that our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ bless he and his family that he loved so dearly.
Respectfully,
Mr. David D.Cortez, Sergean,Retired FWPD.
