May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face;
the rains fall soft upon your fields
and until we meet again,
may God hold you in the palm of His hand.

This was a complete shock. I knew Bobby at Rhawnhurst Ambulance back in the early 80's. We started with the answering service, then first aid classes, then volunteering, then EMT classes, running cases with him, then being on the board and him being a friend to me and my family (especially my kids). I met his family inbetween all this. I haven't seen him in years but kept up with him through Larry Nodiff. He will be missed. Kathy Cunningham

Bobby was a dear member to our family. Bobby was a guy that would do anything for you and lend a helping hand. He was our son's God Father and was so loving to him and caring and our other children. We went to Ireland together and saw the homeland. We will miss him terribly and our prayers go out to all in the family. Love, Phil, Julie, Caitlin, Brendan and Ciara Mockler.

Bobby I'm so sorry. Nothing other than making arrests was ever easy for you. Please look out for us. The long nights we spent in CCTV I always remember how you kept me laughing even when exhausted. Truly my heart is hurting.

I will remember Bobby as a very kind and gentle person. A person I was proud to be a friend of. He will be sorely missed.
