Robbie it's 2018 and a cable tv station is showing that whole mess again. I met you in a class in Little Rock with Bill Buford. You left a good impression on me and it hurt so bad to see that incident unfold on TV. Rest easy brother, we have the fight from here.

Today is the US Marine Corps birthday. And I find myself thinking of my good college buddy Rob Williams. Our time together at Hinds Community College were some of the best times ever. Always smiling, always laughing and enjoying life. He went to Florida State, I went to LSU and we still remained friends. I remember a good honorable man, a dedicated ATF Agent, a patriot and a kind sprite. RIP Brother! Semper Fi!

I never knew Robert, but I am a friend of his younger sister Kelley. As a Police Lieutenant in Asheville, North Carolina, I am riding in his honor in May 2017 in the Police Unity Tour. Rest in peace Rob. I think about you every time I put my kevlar on.

Rob was one of my few good friends in high school. I introduced myself to him and told him I knew how hard it can be to be new in school. I invited to church, introduced him to Cindy, and was a frequent guest in his house. We took road trips together and were good friends. Rob was an amazing artist and had a gentle nature and I think about him almost daily even 22 years after his death. I'll see my friend again one day and that makes me happy.

Rob was my roommate in college, one of my groomsmen in my wedding, and more importantly one of the best people I have ever met. Rob was a shining example of what it meant to be a good man and a good friend. He lead by example in all he did.

My heart aches because my 6 children never got to meet Rob.

Robby John....this is your cousin Rob who got to play with you at Thanksgiving each year you were able to be in Florida at your Aunts houses (Ray, Dot, Beth) in your younger years. I was so sad to hear of your death so many years ago on my Dad's birthday 2/28, Aunt Ray's husband. I'm so proud of your service under a very difficult circumstance....and providing cover fire for other ATF agents as they withdrew. Thank you for making the ultimate sacrifice for your country. Cindy, I never had the privilege of meeting you. I thank you for your great sacrifice of having to continue on and raise a family without Roby John. Love Rob

When Rob Williams and his family moved into the home across the street this 15 year old kid was the first to introduce himself to me...."Hi, Mister B, I am going to be your new neighbor!" During the next few years Rob and his family became best friends with mine, spending untold hours dining out, hunting, and watching our kids grow up. Even now, 21 years after his untimely death, i can see the big grin on his face as I pull out of my driveway. Judging from the comments made herein many years after his passing, Rob also left a lasting impression on a lot of his friends and fellow law enforcement officers.

Although I may never remember us meeting because I was so young, I do remember our family in Saratoga and Uncle Harrold. Now that I have a face to put to the stories, your image will forever be burned into my heart. Blessed, you are and I look forward to meeting you in the future.
