Robert CROMWELL

CROMWELL, Robert K. "Bob" passed away on July 31, 2024, in St. Petersburg, Florida at the age of 72. Born and raised in Princeton, New Jersey, Bob served 22 honorable years with the FBI. Prior to his FBI career, he was a Cryptology Technician in the US Navy, a New Jersey Police Officer, and a Special Agent with the US Naval Investigative Services. His book "Fugitive Man" tells his story. Bob was a champion for justice, and proudly served on the board of the Florida Innocence Project, helping innocent prisoners in Florida obtain their freedom and rebuild their lives. He met his beloved wife of 50 years, Rosa Lee (Evans) when he was stationed in Washington State. They married in 1974, and raised three sons who made them proud beyond measure. He taught them so much, everything about the Beatles, the value of a great sense of humor, and the importance of family. Bob was predeceased by his parents, Ken and Erna Bovie Cromwell; his brother, David; and his daughter-in-law, Emerald Cromwell. He is survived by his beloved wife, Rosa; and his three sons, Michael, Daniel (Kim) and Johnny (Elana), all of St Petersburg. He is also survived by one sister, Kim Cromwell (Kath); and sister-in-law, Carol Cromwell. He delighted in his grandchildren Spiro, Sofia, Joe, Izzy and Leah Cromwell. How we will all miss our Bob. Burial will be at Bay Pines National Cemetery in St Petersburg. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that any donations be made to the Florida Innocence Project or to the Suncoast Hospice Foundation.
