Bob,
Thank you for rescuing me so many times over the 20+ years we knew each other...when things were hard for me, you were always there...I feel bad that when you last called me that it was the last time I would ever talk to you....call it 20/20 hindsight but I should have made the trip out to let you "buy me a drink"...even if it was only a Coke...I miss your BBQ, "O master of the smoker"....rest in peace my friend....

Bobby Jr.: I remember when you were just a little boy, so innocent and sweet....your dad loved you more than anyone in this world and wanted the best for you....dont ever forget that!! As someone once said: "Tomorrow is the most important thing in life. It comes into us at midnight very clean. It's perfect when it arrives and puts itself in our hands. It hopes we've learned something from yesterday." Let yesterday's lessons be your guide in making tomorrow's decisions...it's not easy, but I promise you, it will be worth it!!

Bobby,

I never had the pleasure of meeting you in person, but I knew plenty about you through working with your father. You were his pride and joy.

Bob and I worked together when the Domestic Assault Response Team (DART) first started in 1997. As all work situations can breed, there were a few bumps with the program. Bob stood up for me when no one else did. I have never and will never forget him for that. Nor will I forget his sense of humor, his sense of honor and his love of police work. I thought many times of contacting him over the years and never did. I hope he knows how much he meant to me and how much I enjoyed and was honored to have him as a part of my life, even if for such a short time.

Please accept my condolences and heartful prayers. But, also, please know that Bob will be remembered as the character that he was. I always smile when I think of him.

I was acquainted with Bobby during his entire career with the FWPD and always considered him a friend.

May the blessings of the Lord Jesus Christ be with his family.

Dearest Bobby jr and Josh, I am so very sorry to hear about Bob, I am sad and heartbroken and really dont know what to say to you about such a great loss as your daddy. Bobby was a wonderful, strong, honorable, funny, intelligent man, he was a great father/grandfather, son, police officer, and a great friend, He loved you two, and always talked and said the best things about y'all, he was so proud of you Bobby, of all the great things he was and did, to him you were his greatest accomplishment. He was sweet and kind when he needed to be, he was smart, and always seemed to know so much about everything, he never complained, even at the hospital and home, and he accepted things with dignity, he had such honor, he could take a bad situation and make you laugh, when you would rather cry, (you could cry for yourself - but not for him) He was respected by his peers, and in his profession that is saying alot. He should have written a bar-b-q cookbook. There is and was- just.. no one like Bob, He was beautiful and I will miss him. I pray God keeps very close to you and Josh during this difficult time. I'm glad that you and your daddy were so close, you were a wonderful son/friend to him. Much love - and - God's Blessings, Gina Bollinger
