I was with Bobby a few nights before at our Kendall District Christmas party and we spoke about the job that we both had chosen. On that Christmas eve a TV report had come out that a Police Officer had been shot, I immediately called in to see who it was and where I could be of help. I was told not to worry that he was at the Hospital and would be allright. He passed the following day after the Dr's found out that his bleeding was too severe to contain.
Rest in Peace my friend, I will never ever forget you.
