Dear Lucy, I had the honor of working for Bobby when I was a Firefighter at F.S. 36. What a great guy!
He was a teacher, mentor and all around gentleman
Unfortunately I was on the fire that put Bobby off the job. What a sad day for all of us. He was definitely one of the legends of Los Angeles County Fire Dept.
May God bless you and your family in this time of sadness .

Lucy and Family, I worked with Bobby at Sta. 36 in the late 70s where he was a Captain on the C-shift. He was always a perfect gentleman, pleasant, and a pleasure to work for. He and Al Brandeli built the addition on my house in Long Beach. May God's eternal light shine upon him. My thoughts and prayers are with you

Dear Lucy and family Bobbie was a wonderful friend to my husband Bill on the Los Angeles Co. fire department for many years and worked on their days off in construction. We are so happy they are together again with their Lord in heaven!

Dear Alexander Family and Friends,
I pray that God will give you all courage to overcome this grief that you are feeling due to the passing of your dearly beloved Bob. Bob is resting in the arms of the Lord. The bible tells us that to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord ( 2 Corinthians 5:8).
May God bless you, and endow you with his love and care.
