John 5:28, 29 - "Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out". I pray that everyone can find peace in knowing that we will see this officer as well as many others again in Paradise soon. Until then, please accept my condolences.

Hey Rob,

I was in Asheville last month and stopped by to see Madison. When I'm there, I always have to stop and say hello to you too. I know you are patrolling the streets of gold and protecting my little girl as well as so many others. It was a pleasure working with you and just know you made an impact in my life and I always think about you. Until we meet again....

Our hearts and prayers go out to your family and loved ones. As the parents of a fallen officer we know the healing will come slowly and the tears will always fall at the most unexpected times. Just know they will be surrounded by fellow officers, friends and others who will support them and be there for them from now on. As you walk the streets of Heaven you may run into our son. You'll recognize him by his smile and his greeting will simply be Simper FI my brother, welcome home.

Officer Bingaman,

Rest well in the arms of God.

To Your Family,

Feel His presence as God answers the prayers of many who have fallen to their knees on your behalf. Since the day of my son's death, I have carried every law enforcement officer and their family in my heart.

Every morning I go to my knees. During that time I pray, “Lord, Be with all law enforcement officers. Keep them safe and free from harm. They are Your soldiers on the front line of the battle against evil. If one should fall this day - wrap their family in your loving arms. Surround them with Your angels, loving family, friends, neighbors and caring people to comfort them. Ease their pain. Help them to mourn well. In Jesus' name and for Your Glory, Amen.”

I have lifted you and your family to God every morning for over two years. Feel those prayers. God is with you, He knows and will ease your pain.

Robert was a wrestler for Academy Park HS when he was in high school. I had the honor of being his coach. Robert demonstrated all the characteristics of what wrestling is all about. He was a hard worker and a great teammate. Robert will be missed by everyone he touched.

"The Final Inspection"
The policeman stood and faced his God,
Which must always come to pass.
He hoped his shoes were shining.
Just as brightly as his brass.
"Step forward now, policeman.
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To My church have you been true?"
The policeman squared his shoulders and said, "No, Lord, I guess I ain't,
Because those of us who carry badges can't always be a saint.
I've had to work most Sundays,
and at times my talk was rough,
and sometimes I've been violent,
Because the streets are awfully tough.
But I never took a penny,
That wasn't mine to keep....
Though I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills got just too steep.
And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at times I shook with fear.
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.
I know I don't deserve a place
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around
Except to calm their fear.
If you've a place for me here,
Lord, It needn't be so grand.
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don't.....I'll understand.
There was silence all around the throne
Where the saints had often trod.
As the policeman waited quietly,
For the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, policeman,
You've borne your burdens well.
Come walk a beat on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in hell."

I am so sorry for your tragic death, Rob. You taught me how to use the 'Light" for checking speed. I remember the day we were on I-240 near Asheville Mall. You were going to teach me about the "Light." When we got out of your car, you asked me if I could run. I assured you I could make it back in the car as quickly as you. We caught one going about 74, we ran to the car and caught up with a college student. You gave her a lecture, but you gave her no ticket. You are of the good guys. We shall all miss you.
