Bob was a great deputy to work with. He always had a big smile on his face and was always ready for a good hunting story.He was a true cop's cop from the old school. Bob will be missed as a deputy sheriff and a friend to all.

I was saddened to hear of "Crad Rocks" passing... he was such a wonderful man and a great friend. I worked with him for many years at the Sheriff's Office and even before that when I worked at Fortuna PD. He would stop by the PD to have his lunch from Bob's Footlongs.. he loved his garlic fries! He was such a kind man. I can remember seeing him out on a traffic stop one day, in the pouring down rain on the hwy.. I said boy that person must have really done something wrong if Crad Rock is pulling them over! We will all miss him.. Thoughts go out to his family...

My deepest condolences for Darcie, Brittany, Kirstie, Chace, Shawnee and his entire family. I will always remember Bob. He was a huge part of my life growing up. I will always remember him with much love and respect. He was a devoted and dedicated father and officer of the law. I will miss him dearly and keep his memory alive by telling lots of stories because when someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure we should all have the pleasure of enjoying. Rest in peace Pops!
