I am very sorry for your loss.
I had the pleasure of working for/with Bob at South Detectives. He was a man of high character, loyalty and a friend and mentor to me. Whether working a case, inviting me to Myrtle Beach to golf or giving rock solid advice, he always stood strong in his convictions and never waivered in integrity. He was one of the Great ones and will be forever missed!!
Rest In Peace my friend!
