Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

I was born in 1968. I always wanted to meet this man. He was a hero to anyone who ever told me a story about him. I know in his off time he taught boxing at the local boys club in Vernon. He was a prison guard at Alcatraz and a professional boxer when he went to California. God Bless him.

I was 4yrs old in 1953, when my parents and I stopped in a cafe in Dalhart if I recall correctly. Like most youngsters, I was fascinated with policemen. I walked up to Trooper Stinnett and his partner and engaged them in a conversation. I asked him if I could see one of his bullets, whereupon he gave me one to keep as a souvenir. However, he instructed me to turn it over to my Dad for safe keeping. I've never forgotten his name or that brief moment. What a man!

My grandfather, Texas Ranger Jim Geer and Bob Stinnett were great friends and worked many criminal cases together in Vernon. He was a great family friend and wonderful mentor to many youths, including me. A truly outstanding lawman and gentleman....you are remembered.

I came across the memorial for Patrolman Robert Franklin Stinnett and realized it was 40 years ago today that his life was taken.
May God keep safe the men and women of the Texas Department of Public Safety. God bless each of them.
