Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

This is for Peggy. I sat behind you at St. Tim’s and remember this day all to well. I never forgot about it. It was the saddest day we ever had in small town Trenton. I have since married a police officer. They are very special people. Your Dad will always be a legend-never forgotten. I hope you find comfort in knowing he died a hero.

After 52 years, I still think of you most days, and my heart still hurts. Sadly, most of my memories of you are from your death and not your life. But your strength and courage live on in your children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren as we remember you with pride.

My life was forever changed that February day 50 years ago. That was the day my father was taken from our family. I lost so much the day I lost my father and I have spent my life wishing I had known him and wishing he had been able to watch his children grow up. He has many grandchildren and great grandchildren and I know his courage and devotion live on. I miss you dad.

Grandpa,
I never got to meet you, but like many men in my family I bear your namesake. Thank you for all that you did in life, and for all you inspired me to do. With the closing of my time in service to the nation I will soon follow your footsteps and begin service to my community. I will serve bravely and with honor, I will make you proud.

Bob Pare was my next door neighbor in Trenton MI.

I will always remember the night I cut my wrist on the back door window. I can still picture him rushing out his back door, hopping over the fence in one bound, scooping me up and taking me inside his house where he and his wife Colleen wrapped my wrist. They drove me to Seaway Hospital for treatment while my parents (who were out for the evening) were tracked down. He was also my sponsor at my confirmation.

That fateful February day is burned into my mind forever. I remember sitting in class at St Tim's Elementary School, hearing the siren and seeing his car (although I didn't know it at the time) scream past on West Rd. followed a short time later by one of his partners. Just a few minutes later a single Trenton police car went flying past in the opposite direction. I didn't realize it at the time but that was his partner rushing him to the same hospital (Seaway) he had taken me several years before. It wasn't until I went home for lunch when Colleen called my mom to let her know what had happened that I learned the significance of what I had just seen that morning. That day left an indelible mark on me. It's a day I will remember for the rest of my days.

At his funeral, I can still picture the endless string of police cars that followed the hearse from St Tim's Church to the cemetery. What a sad time that was.

I think of him and his family often.

Rest In Peace.

Uncle Bob,

You were my namesake (ok- middle name) and I will forever miss the fact that I was just a boy and never really knew the man you were. My Father's brother, I can only assume you shared a common trait of loyalty, an aire of dignity and a strong desire to make the world a better place. I assure you those traits are alive and well in me and my two sons as I'm sure they are in your sons and daughters.

To your children I beg, please contact me, facebook is a wonderful tool for reconnecting and I would absolutely love to build from the family ties we share. Rene R Pare Taylor, MI

My Dearest Family and Friends

Somethings I'd like to say but first of all to let you know that I arrived okay.

I'm writing this from Heaven where I dwell with Our Lord above. where there's no more tears or sadness just eternal Love. Please don't be unhappy because I'm out of sight, remember that I'm with you every morning,noon and Night.

The Day I had to leave you when my Life on earth was through God picked me up and hugged me and He said I welcome you.
It's good to have you back again, You were missed while you were gone. As for your Dearest Family they'll be here later on.
I need you here so badly as part of my big plan. Theres so much we have to do to help our Moral Man.
Then God gave me a list of things that He wished for me to do, and foremost on that list of mine is to watch and care for you.
I'll be beside you everyday and through out the years, And when your sad. I'm standing there to wipe away your tears.
When You lie in bed at night the day's chores put to flight God and I are close you in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on Earth and all the loving years, because your only human they are bound to bring you tears.

Please don't be afraid to cry, it does releive the pain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned, But if I were to tell you You wouldn't understand.One thing is for certain, though my life on Earth is over I'm closer to you now than I ever was before.

To My many Friends, Trust God knows what is best.I'm still not far away from you I'm just beyond the crest.

So, If you can help somebody who is in sorrow or in pain, then you can say to God at night my day was not in vain.
And now I am contented that with my life. it was worth while,Knowing as I passed along the way I made somebody smile.
If you meet somebody who is down and feeling low just lend a hand and pick him up as on your way you go.
When Your walking down the street and you've got me on your mind just know Im walking in your footstep only a half a step behind.
And if you feel a gentel breeze or wind upon your face thats me just giving you a great big hug or just a soft embrace.
I will always love you from the land way up above We'll be in touch again soon
PS God sends his Love.
