Officer Down Memorial Page

I knew Bob for 8 years and was and considered myself close friend to "Peanut." We ran track and cross-country together, as Bob was an avid runner. I was just thinking about him this week and wanted to pass along my impressions of this honorable man. He was an honest, hardworking guy who simply wanted to make a difference in his life. Few friends nowadays are as supportive and consistently there for you like Bob was. He always had a smile and a joke to tell, and was well-liked by everyone who knew him--though deep down, a very serious person. He displayed courage in many ways as he dealt with his share of challenges and tribulations when he was younger, but always overcame. A rare kind of person, Bob was a man of high integrity and honor whose heroic act is not surprising to those who really knew him. I miss him and his joyful demeanor and my prayers and thoughts are with his Mom, Pat, and his Police Officer Family. God Bless You All for your service and dedication. I know Bob is watching over all of you everyday.
