My thoughts and prayers are with your loved ones and friends on this forth anniversary of your EOW. Continue to keep watch over them and those still out on patrol watching over the Thin Blue Line. You will never be forgotten

I knew Bob back in the early eighties. He was a sergeant on the Daytona force when I joined in 1984. He was always well thought-of and
dedicated to the job. I was saddened to learn of his death.

Dear Bobby and family,

I grew up across the street from you in Hidden Hills. Though it was long ago in my early childhood I remember your Dad well. I remember him chasing after Rommel and pulling his hair out over the jacuzzi. I remember him singing on the diving board and dispatching snakes for my Mom. No matter what sort of trouble, and we got into lots, your Dad never seemed to lose his cool. I know we all looked up to him and felt safer for having him as a neighbor.

I'm very sorry to hear of your loss and proud to hear you've followed in his footsteps

POLICE OFFICER
PHILA PA

March 8, 2008

"The Badge"

He starts his shift each day
To respond to calls unknown.
He drives a marked patrol car.
A police officer he is known.

He's paid by the citizens' taxes
To make it safe on the streets.
But he usually has a second job
'Cause a waitress has his salary beat.

Now he doesn't know a holiday
'Cause he works all year round.
And when Thanksgiving and Christmas finally arrive
At his home he cannot be found.

He's cursed and assaulted often,
The one whos blood runs blue.
He seldom ever gets a thanks,
To some he's just a fool.

His friends are always other cops
'Cause people just don't understand
That underneath his badge and gun,
He's just another man.

He knows there might not be a tomorrow
In this world of drugs and crime.
And he gets so mad at the court system
'Cause the crooks don't get any time.

And each day when he leaves for work,
He prays to God above.
Please bring me home after my shift
So I can see the ones I love.

But tonight he stops a speeding car,
He's alone down this ole' highway.
It's just a little traffic infraction.
He does it everyday.

Well, he walks up to the driver's window,
And his badge is shining bright.
He asked the guy for a driver's license,
When a shot rang through the night.

Yes, the bullet hit its mark,
Striking the officer in the chest.
But the Department's budget didn't buy
Each officer a bullet-proof vest.

So he lay on the ground bleeding.
His blood wasn't blue - His blood was red.
And briefly he thought of his loved ones
'Cause in a moment the officer was dead.

In the news they told the story
Of how this officer had died.
And some who listened cared less,
But those who loved him cried.

Well, they buried him in uniform
With his badge pinned on his chest.
He even had his revolver,
He died doing his best.

Remembering Bob

The day will come when you won’t be alone.
As sure as stars gaze down from high above—
Some others will give up all that they love
And have their names carved next to yours in stone.

Too soon, some daddy’s girl, some mother’s son,
To hallowed ground where fallen heroes lie,
As gun salutes abruptly bid goodbye,
Will make this somber journey, one by one.

Yet flags now folded in eternal rest,
Are not all that remains of loved ones lost.
For we who deeply comprehend the cost
Are living tributes infinitely blessed.

We shared a piece of time, a shining space
With someone who exemplified the best,
Unfailing in their ultimate bequest
To leave this world a brighter, better place.

We’ll celebrate the lives of those who’ve served—
Who would, if had the chance, do it again.
Their legacy to us will long remain
And last beyond their names in stone preserved.

Three years have gone and I don't miss you any less. We just brought another Grimmy into this world and I can only hope that I will be as good of a father as you were. Hopefully you all toasted with a snifter of Crown Royal. I love you and think about you all the time.

I was driving in Ormond Beach recently when I saw they had named a portion of the road in your honor. That sign made me think back to all of the times I enjoyed with you over the years at the Daytona Beach Police Department. It was truly an honor to have known you.

Rest in peace brother. One day we will all meet again to share our memories.

We are counting down for our yearly vacation in Daytona, but it hasn't been the same. We are missing our 2 favorite, funny and entertaining uncles. We just expect you to walk in the door with open arms, ready for hug and some action.
I know Mom misses you more than I can ever imagine. It just wasn't fair taking so much away.
16 more days 'til Florida Beach! I know you, Uncle John and G.G. will be there with us.

To the family that lost a great man.
Though I never knew Officer Grim, any time that I hear of a brother in blue that doesn't make it home; it reminds me that we all take that risk. I haven't been a cop for the respectable 36 years, but I have also been put in a hospital due to a distracted driver while investigating an accident. I truly feel sorrow for the family of this great man. Recovering from my own injuries made me more greatful to see my family.
Again I am truly sorry for you loss.

Another sad day today as we said good-bye to Champ (the family dog, daddy's dog). Our beloved,sweetest dog, the friend, the greeting at the door with his goofy wiggle and big kisses, will be missed. But I know he is walking with you daddy in heaven. Today, unlike any other day, I am thinking of you and miss you more than ever. Not one day passes that you are not on my mind. I miss you daddy.
Life is not the same nor will it ever be without you.

Miss you daddy. I can't wait to see you again when God is ready for me. I love you and miss you. XXOO

Love Your Daughter,

Sgt. Grim, Thank you for your dedication to duty and the 36 years you gave to the citizens of Volusia County. I first met you in 1980 as a Police Explorer for the Daytona Beach Police Department. You were always an officer that I looked up to and wanted to "mold" myself after you. I can still remember working details with you and your kindness and support to the Explorer Program. You treated us kindly, fair, and TAUGHT us rather than yell at us. For that, I am truly thankful. Many explorers over the years who went on to become officers, troopers, soilders, and deputies, owe a lot to YOU and the way you presented yourself and showed the true way to be a professional. Thankyou Bob and God Bless you always.
