Thank you Sir for your service.

Safe driving is a fallacy. More so in CT. There's more than one reason why we should all limit our driving. I hope we all can slow down enough in life to be safe and keep each other safe. Be considerate and loving towards others. Unless you see it turn yellow from green, yellow means be prepared to stop or stop. It means slow down not speed through. We all must discipline our selves and practice self control. There's a reason the word exists bc we don't always have it.
Life is fleeting. May his light shine brighter through his family. May their lights shine brighter and be longstanding.

Heavenly Father, You are Compassionate and Merciful. None of America’s Peace Officers leave home without the fear of not returning at the end of their watch. It is a fear that is lived daily. Unfortunately, the worst does sometimes come to pass, and lives are left shattered. Lord God, bless and keep the hearts and souls of those who have lost loved ones in the line of duty. Wipe away the tears from their eyes. Soothe their pain and bind up their emotional wounds through the wounds of Your beloved Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. In His name, I pray. Amen.

“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons [children] of God.” [Matthew 5:9 ESV]

“And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” Then I said, “Here am I! Send me.” [Isaiah 6:8 ESV]

Deepest condolences and prayers to Bobbys friends, family, and coworkers.

Bobby was the most genuine person you could meet. He was smart. He was kind. He was always smiling and had something funny to say. Bobby was truly special.

Although our hearts hurt and mourn in pain… Heaven has gained more love to sprinkle down from above. Bobby, may your brightness always shine down on us. We miss you dearly. The city will never be the same without you brother. Rest easy.
