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.

I'm sorry to see that there are not more reflections in your honor but it is obvious that the ones that are here are those from friends who miss you greatly. I never knew you but I respect the job you did and the greatest sacrafice that you made. I hope your daughter grew up as well as could be with the physical absence of her father in her life. Thank you for your dedication and for serving.

~~~Do Not Stand At My Grave And Weep~~~

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there, I do not sleep
I am a thousand winds that blow
I am the diamond glints on snow
I am the sunlight on ripened grain
I am the gentle autumn’s rain
I am the swift uplifting rush of quiet birds circled in flight
I am the soft star that shines at night
I am the flowers that bloom by day
I am the fragrance of new mown hay
I am each blade of grass that grows
I am the rush of melting snow

Do not stand at my grave and cry
I am no there, I did not die…..

Brother I remember us working in district 2 together and then we both went to plainclothes in Brooklyn. On that tragic night I remember that you were trying to get off so that we could party in Pennsylvania.

RIP my brother and know that you are not forgotten.

Remembering you on the anniversary of your death. May God comfort
all those who are still grieving your passing. Life is difficult at times
and the Lord Jesus wants to help carry our burdens. He gives us many
beautiful promises in His Word to help us through our valleys. I pray you
will feel His presence and know His peace. God bless!
