Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

General as we all affectionately called you Rob there isn't a day that goes by that I reminisce how we played football against Cypress on Sunday mornings numerous parties we attended even though I was younger than the rest of the crew you made feel part of the crew. You taught me a lot being strong standing up for myself. As your birthday approaches I think about you that much more. You would be so proud of Januari she has made you a grandpa in spirit. His name is Maverick born 06/29/2018. Mike is going thru some things but I am definitely watch over like the two of watched over me. Rob I miss you until we meet again I make sure to make you proud. Happy Birthday General. Much love.

I only met Rob once, but his vibrant spirit made an immediate impression. I remember attending his funeral and seeing his young daughter left behind. I also had the pleasure of seeing her as a young woman, making her dad proud. I was reminded of his loss watching the documentary "Seven Five" and being angered once again at his tragic loss. RIP.

Uncle Rob
I Remember When You Brought Me My First black & Gold BMX Bike For Christmas. I know Cause You Was At My Home Putting It Together as I Watched. Even Though I Was Supposed To Be Sleep. I Remember When You Gave Me A Spanking Cause I Left The Park In Cypress, Walked Back To Plaza On My Own. I Remember Seeing You On The Park Bench at The Buildings Always Smiling & Laughing With Friends. Even Though I Was Only 9 When You Past On. I Have Some Good Memories of You. You Would Be Proud of The Family. Thank You For Being An Inspiration to Many.

It was my honor to research newspapers, books and magazines and finally find your ID Card Photo in a transit police magazine and make sure your photo was put on this site. I wanted to put a face to your heroism in the Line of Duty. I did the research because you are a brother officer and no matter how many years past, you will always be remembered. Rest Easy Hero.

Officer Venable you are the last true NYC Transit PD Police Officer to make the ultimate sacrifice before our Department became part of another yet quite different Department and as such although all our brothers and sisters of the NYCTPD who made the ultimate sacrifice must always be remembered you will forever hold a special place in that roll call of honorees. RIP Robert Venerable your patrol is no more but your work and sacrifice will never dissipate.

I remember that terrible day like it was yesterday. I was working plain clothes in dist. 30..I heard over the radio a Transit Cop was shot. I couldn't believe it was Rob. The days passed so slowly and all of us remained in disbelief.
We miss you brutha/Friend you will always be remembered.

Robert was always the cheerful type... fun to be around. I didn't know him as well as many, but his humor and style were infectious. I had the pleasure of later working with his daughter January at a collection agency. He would have been proud of her.
