Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

The true measure of a person
is not found in the
might of their arm,
their wealth
or their power –
it is found in the strength
of their character.

There is no greater testimony to
ones character, than ones
willingness to sacrifice all,
in the noble quest of
providing protection to all
whom they serve.

Court Officer Robert J. Silver, I am so very sorry that your life was taken in this way by a cowardly criminal. Your state and every state needs to have a plan in place that is better than sending a 66 year old man by himself to serve warrants. The person has already shown that they do not respect any authority.
You looked so happy being on that body of water!
May our Good Lord give you a seat beside Him. God Bless your family and all those that love and care about you here on earth.
Rest In Peace, Brother.
