Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Dear Robert

I have so many wonderful memories from childhood of you and Aida having fun, laughing, joking etc. with my parents. They were always so happy to be with you. I consider your family to be an extension of mine and they are always in my thoughts and prayers.

We all miss you so much and we will never forget you.

Bobby,
It was 1985 when a rookie FBI Agent joined a team of seasoned investigators in a common cause; to protect our country from those who want to destroy our way of life. You were instrumental to the team and over the many years that followed helped develop the skills and abilities of many who walked the halls of the Joint Terrorist Task Force. Thank you for your friendship and guidance. Heaven got a new angel when you entered. I will never forget your freindship, laughter and sense of humor. (RIP)

Hi Robert.

I just attended a memorial for you yesterday, and it was beautiful. It was held at the Marina del Rey and was bittersweet. We used to go there for police functions when you originally joined the department and it was so sad to go there at the end. Bobby got your medal of honor and he was so proud. I really miss you. I travel a lot with Gloria, going to places you would never have gone to but I see older couples together and think of how I will never have that. I'm feeling a bit weepy today so don't mind me. I love and miss you very much.

Rest in peace brother. We've got the watch from here. May God bless your family, friends and fellow officers who all mourn the loss of yet another hero.

Det. Rivera,
It has taken over two years, but you are finally being honored. I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for the citizens of New York City. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.
