WE ALSO THANK HIM FOR HIS SERVICE TO OUR COUNTRY IN THE MILITARY & THAT OF THE LOCAL POLICE FORCE. IT WAS AN HONOR TO HAVE KNOWN HIM.

To Bob's family,
I served with Bob at many special events held in St. Petersburg during my time with the Police Dept. He had a great sense of humor and always made the task at hand easier. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family. God Bless

Joanne and Family...
As an old neighbor from the Lakewood days, a former SPPD Officer and friend of Bob, I would like very much to extend my condolences to you, Larry, Randy and the family. Bob will be missed but he has gone home and is at peace. Thanks to you all for his service to St. Petersburg, and to all his many customers.

To Bob's family,
Bob was a wonderful man. He did the tile on my bathroom & always said if we had a tornado to hide in the shower as the concrete behind that tile was thick!!!
May God bless and be with you all.....

Bob was a good friend and many time a co-worker on the streets of St. Petersburg.
He was always a Gentle Man and always ready to lend a hand to anyone in need.

To grandpa,
May your journey to heaven be that of joy and amazement. You will be deeply missed. I love you!
Your grandson, Chris

You will forever be remember by those who love you as one of the greatest men to ever walk this land. May God take you into his kingdom and forever hold you close. You were our rock, our safe place to always go when the world got rough, We will always love and miss you Pop,
