Bobby, you truly are my hero. Every time you would come home, I would light up when I saw your smiling face and heard you say "Hey Kitten!!" and then you'd give me a huge hug and kiss. I loved our talks and how you would ask me, a 17 year old with not much experience, for advice and what I thought about different situations you were going through. Although you're not here anymore physically, I know you are with me in spirit and the love I have always felt for you will never die. You'll always be my big brother and I will miss you more than words can say. I still can't believe you are gone and that I won't hear you're laugh anymore....if I knew that that sunday was the last day I would ever see you...I would have told you what an amazing brother you are and how proud I am of all you have achieved. You'll always be our big teddy bear and I could not be more proud to be an AMBROSE. My brother, my best friend, and now my guardian angel...I love you and I can't wait to wrap my arms around you when we meet again in heaven.
xoxoxoxoxo Love always,
Stina

I will always remember the 1st time you told me you loved me.. and the last.. not more than a hour before..........

You taught me what it feels like to truly be in love and how it feels to receive it. I will never understand why God brought us together.. only to break us apart.

You may not be in arm's reach... or within my sight distance.. but you will never be far from my heart.

You left with a piece of me... and I will never say good bye... only "Until we meet again".

I love you... and will cherish the memories that we have made... and look forward to that day.. when you can say "What took you so long"............

Until that day.... Always in my heart

To the family of Tpr. Ambrose:

My condolences on the tragic loss of your son and brother. There are no words sufficient to ease your pain, but I know that Tpr. Ambrose's memory will live on in the hearts and minds of family, friends and co-workers. My thoughts are with you.

Dispatcher JoAnn Madarassy
New York State Thruway Authority

Bob, rarely do I walk into a room and feel small in the presence of another - you are a giant not only in stature but in the size of your heart. I was glad to have you around when we worked details together. No matter how miserable the day you were always up beat. I will miss you and somehow not feel as safe out there. God's speed. My deepest sympathy to Bob's parents, brother, and sister.

Inv Brian Hammer
NYSP

Dearest Bobby,
You were, and always will be the sweetest and gentlest. The picture of you and Nicholas from that night at Mama's house will always remain on the mantle. You lit up the room with your presence, and I was always excited to talk to you so we could catch up-like Aunt Evelyn always said.."when we were talking there was no air left in the room." I love you very much. God Bless you angel

I to was involved in a head-on collosion while assisting another officer on the interstate traffic accident. I was sitting in a Crown Vic ; protecting the officer's vehicle and a civillian vehicle from traffic. Unfortunately , politics are more important than our brother officers live on the streets. By the grace of God I am still alive today. I hope they fix the problems with the crown vic. May God bless this officer and his family- we stand with you.

To the Ambrose Family I'm so sorry for your loss. I just had breakfast with Bobby a couple of months ago for the first time since I left SP Tarrytown and I can't believe I won't be able to see him again. Your Son and our Brother was a great man first and a great Trooper second. He was truly a gentle giant in heart and spirit. He will be truly missed by all. I heard about his accident the day before I left for Florida to visit my own Family and I can't stop thinking about how this could happen to such a great guy. Sleep well.

Investigator Alex Pradere
NEW YORK STATE POLICE

To the Family and Friends of Trooper Ambrose,
He will be greatly missed, and I was proud to work with him at SP Haverstraw. God bless you Bob and your family.

TROOPER PETER NUNZIATA

Godspeed Robert. So many of our brothers in blue pay the ultimate sacrifice. My prayers are with your family and friends. REST IN PEACE.

GOD BLESS YOU

Police Officer David Calla

I know from recent experience what the pain is of loosing a friend and co-worker cop. Be strong for Trooper Robert Ambrose's and his family. Hold together, keep up the daily fight to do the right thing. Robert is with God, in a better place with the brother and sister law enforcement officers that went before him. Help Roberts family, and keep his memory strong-WE WILL NOT FORGET OUR OWN.
