During the time I worked at the Collier County Courthouse, I knew Senior Chief Robert Daly Jr. simply as Bob. I had no idea he served in the Coast Guard, but I knew he was special. His welcoming smile and signature fist bump greeted me every day I saw him. He seemed completely content, never anxious or irritated. Never pretentious. A true class act. I'm saddened he's gone.

For a time, I had the honor of working with Bob at the Collier County Courthouse. His marvelous attitude and ever present smile brightened my mornings as he gave me a fist bump to start the day. He always said something positive to me.
Master Chief Daly optimized the outstanding qualities of The Greatest Generation. No matter the circumstances, he always presented his best and served as a role model for everyone around him. I shall always cherish my memories of him. I am certainly a better man for haven known him.
Fair winds and following seas Sir, I hope we meet again on the far shore.
