taken so senselessly by the same kind of person you fought so damn hard to get and keep off the streets, doing the job you loved so dearly, riding the motorcycle that was your passion. your sacrifice is the ultimate and a testament to you. how ironic!!! you now have a different beat to ride your bike in and you now have a new squad to ride with. you are quit the character and i know you'll charm them. i'll never you and how very fortunate i am to have known you. R.I.P. MY FRIEND.

ROB,it all is so surreal when i heard the words "he didn't make it" at 4am from my husband i lost all feeling and went numb.i still remember the first i met you at my store, i had a time pronouncing your name and you said "r-o-b common spelling " and that was all she wrote.i have so many memories of our conversations and the stories of all your travels and dive trips and how full of life you were.i always looked forward to you coming in for whatever or just coming in with kenny and bill and the "boys" we always had so much fun.on more than one occasion when i was sick and as soon as you found out the first thing you would ask is how i'm doing and if there was anything you could do just say the word and after i got married of course knowing that he is a cop, you said "he better be good to you and treat you the way i know you deswerve to be treated and if not ...." and you left it at that because of course i knew how to fill in the blanks.the passion you had for your job and all the energy you put into it was an example for everyone and thou no one will ever be able to fill your shoes you have left a legacy for the rest of the squad and future "motors" to come to carry on. i'm still numb and every time i see the story somewhere its a reminder that i will never see that big smile or never see you out at the task force or hear about where you're going on your next trip. i'll miss you and never ever will i forget you and i wiol always remember the last thing you said to me the lsat time i saw you as you took one more " deuce" off the road it was this "as usual it was nice to see you i'll see you soon, merry christmas and take care darlin". ofc.Rob Targosz you have done you're job exceptionally well ,you fought the good fight, left a huge foot print on this earth R.I.P. ROB you left a huge impact on my life.
