As Big a man that Bobby was, his all around personality was larger then life. Compassionate & humble with a great sense of humor, & a pretty damn good singing voice. I would sometimes remind him that he better not mess with me

New cop says slain detective godfather would be proud
BY THOMAS TRACY
NEW YORK DAILY NEWS Wednesday, December 27, 2017

When she graduates from the NYPD police academy Thursday, Malika Grant will be giving a silent thank you to the man who helped her every step of the way — her godfather, a cop shot to death on the job 13 years ago.

“I know he’s extremely proud of me,” Grant, 24, said about NYPD Detective Robert Parker.

Even though Parker is no longer alive, Grant feels her big, burly godfather helped guide her through the academy.

“I felt like he was a part of everything,” she said. “I couldn’t have gotten through it without him.”

At the graduation ceremony at the Beacon Theater Thursday, Grant will be proudly wearing Parker’s badge number 28544, which he wore as an officer. In a few years, she hopes to be sporting his detective shield number.

Parker and Detective Patrick Rafferty were shot to death responding to a domestic disturbance in East Flatbush, Brooklyn, on Sept. 10, 2004.

Malika Grant, who is expected to graduate from the NYPD police academy, will wear her godfather's NYPD police shield. Grant's sister, Alaisa Hendrick, right, pinned her sister's shield.

Hey Bobby. Where do I begin? Almost 9 years since you were stolen from us and yet tears flow as I write this as if it were yesterday. My heart still aches.

Safe In the Harbour from Eric Bogle

Here is the lyrics for Safe In the Harbour
We hope that you enjoy them just asmuch as we here at International Lyrics DataBase do.


Have you stood by the ocean on a diamond-hard morning
And felt the horizon stir deep in your soul?
Watched the wake of a steamer as it cut thru blue water
And been gripped by a fever you just can't control?
O to throw off the shackles and fly with the seagulls
To where green waves tumble before a driving sea wind
Or to lie on the decking on a warm summer evening
Watch the red sun fall burning beneath the earth's rim

Chorus:

But to every sailor comes time to drop anchor
Haul in the sails and make the lines fast
You deep water dreamer, your journey is over
You're safe in the harbor at last (2x)

Some men are sailors, but most are just dreamers
Held fast by the anchors they forge in their minds
Who in their hearts know they'll never sail over deep water
To search for a treasure they're afraid they won't find
So in sheltered harbours they cling to their anchors
Bank dow their boilers & shut down their steam
And wait for the sailors to return with the bright treasures
That will fan the dull embers & fire up their dreams

Chorus

And some men are schemers who laugh at the dreamers
Take the gold from the sailors & turn it to dross
They're men in a prison, they're men without vision
Whose only horizon is profit and loss
So when storm clouds come sailing across your blue ocean
Hold fast to your dreaming for all that you're worth
For as long as there's dreamers, there will always be sailors
Bringing back their bright treasures from the corners of earth
