Your family has grown to 15! That includes children, grand kids and wives. You, sir, must be extremely proud of them all. They have professional careers, very good people and above all, YOU are still the in their lives and they honor you. Rest peacefully, they are fine.

Bob, how meaningful to know a portion of I-5 has a memorial to you acknowledging your service to the CPH code of protection and serving. Your family made sure you were remembered, especially little Kenny who was only 7 years old at your passing. You left a fine legacy to them and they honor the person you still are to them. One of your sons said, "We always knew he was a hero; now, it is official.." Rest in Peace!

Bob, it has been a while since we saw you blinking your police car lights to your kids as you drove out the cul-de- sac to work and protecting us while we slept safely in our homes. You would be proud of your kids, a lawyer; police officer/teacher; contractor; VA surgery tech; substance abuse counselor. Their love and admiration is evident. Give our love to our families and friends who have gone to bask in God's glory with you.

Wow dad! This is a wonderful accomplishment that my little brother has seen to fruition in honoring your memory. I too still think about you and miss you. You took your job as a cop seriously, proudly, and fearlessly. I still remember sitting on your CHP motorcycle when I was a kid. I remember how we all told you to be careful when you'd leave for work. You touched many lives and I am proud to have known you, even if it was for such a short time.

I had a great honor to read a lot about you. You were described, by your supervisors and fellow officers as being one of the highest felony and DUI arresting officers in your office, and being a true cop's cop. I took that to mean somebody for younger officers to look up to and try to emulate. I am sure the citizens of California, especially Red Bluff were thankful for your years of service. It has taken 41 years to set the record straight and now everybody knows the sacrifice you made. I know you would be very proud of your son, Ken, who wanted everybody to know the dedicated officer you were. Rest in peace.

Though I never had the privilege of knowing you personally I feel as if we are well acquainted through the stories shared by your son. I hope you know what a good man he is and how much he cherishes the memories you’ve provided him. From your example he has become and continues to be a fine peace officer who I am proud to call my friend. Rest in peace.

Hey Pops, it’s been 41 years since your passing and I miss you dearly. Not a day goes by that I don’t think of you and what your influence has meant to me. It seems like just yesterday your black and white was backing out of the driveway for the last time. It’s been an honor and privilege to have known you. Thank you for your service Pops, and may you rest in peace.
