Condolence: Bob, was one of the nicest people I ever was privileged to know. Years after graduation, he stopped by my house, when he was doing Forensics. We had a long conversation, and was investigating a tragedy in my neighborhood. He hadn't changed a bit since FMA. He was always a great guy in Military School, and had a golden personality. He was a friend, and I was lucky to have him as one .

Condolence: Thoughts and prayers for the whole family. I first met Bob as a cadet at FMA when we both were cadets and then we became fellow NPD employees. Bob was always considered one of the good guys and will always be remembered by those he came in contact with and will be missed.

Condolence: To The Hasty Family, On behalf of the Virginia Beach Police Department Latent Print Section, we are sending our sincere condolences your way. You remain in our thoughts throughout this very trying time.

Condolence: To Hasty Family, Robbie was a great guy. I first meet him at the "Ocean View Amusement Park" in the reptile house, as I was working part time. He was always professional and very through with his investigations, while working in Norfolk Police Department. My Deepest Sympathy and condolences in your loss. Ray Pettway NPD Ret.

Condolence: I was heartbroken when I learned of your passing, we worked many years in Norfolk together and the last 5 yrs in Chesapeake together. You always encouraged my career goals and taught me so much. I will miss your smile, good nature, and the way you genuinely cared for those around you. Rest in peace Bob, your presence is already missed. Marissa

Condolence: My deepest sympathy to Kathy and family, sisters Jackie and Kathy. May God hold you and fill your hearts with peace during this time. Celebrate Robbie's new life with the Lord Jesus Christ in Heaven, the greatest place of all. Till we mwet again...

Condolence: Heartfelt condolences Kathy,Emily and the other family members.A good man gone to soon.

Condolence: Dear family, may you God, the Father of tender mercies (Psalm 83:18), surround and comfort you during this difficult time and may you also find comfort in God's promise of a resurrection Acts 24:15.

Condolence: My most sincere condolences to the family. Robert was a mentor to me both as a patrol officer, where he got me interested in forensic science, and as a detective where he trained me in forensics. He had a big impact on my career and life. He will surely be missed by friends and family. May god give us all peace.

Condolence: So very sorry for your loss. He will be truly missed..As Emily has said we will one day see him again. My heart and prayers go out to both of you.

Condolence: I was so saddened to hear of Robbie's passing. We also called him Bobbie at the time. We started out together on the "D" platoon in the Ocean View section of Norfolk in 1974. Everyone (including me) said he was the tallest and thinest cop on the NPD. I hope the Lord receives him into his kingdom: I'm sure he will!!!

Condolence: Kathy and Emily our hearts are hurting for you and pray for healing and comfort. Our whole family extends their sympathies to you. Much love, Kimberly, Mike, Caroline, Callie, & Colton Jordan

Condolence: I am extremely saddened to hear of Bob's passing. I attended Frederick Military with Bob. At Frederick the two of us were on the track team and worked together as members of the Drum and Bugle Corps. Bob had an infectious smile that was always present, and an easy going manner that always made you feel comfortable when you were around him. I specifically remember him at track meets leading frisbee tosses between events, and in doing so helping us all to unwind and relax! My family's thoughts and prayers are with you, and ask you to remember that in the 23rd Psalm, we walk "through" the valley of the shadow of death, we do not stay there! Bob is home, and we will see him again. Tom and Nanci

Condolence: My heart is heavy today. I known Robbie since we were kids. My deepest condolences go out to his family and siblings. Prayers are with you

Condolence: Bob, was always full of laughter. Joking and sharing a fun message for everyone. He has a great reputation and lots of respect for all his accomplishments, especially as a forensic specialist. I worked in forensics in Virginia Beach and knew Bob as someone I could always count on for assistance in Police matters. We shared many stories, of crime scene and comparing latent fingerprints. He loved his family and my wife and I Send our deepest sympathy to them during this difficult time.

Condolence: Robbie was a friend, cousin, and God parent to our son. We loved him dearly. So many memories of our lives together will be forever cherished. Prayers and hugs to you Kathy and Emily.

Condolence: Robbie was my freshman roommate at Frederick Military Academy. I watched him get up at 0430 every morning to go to work in the cafeteria to help pay for his schooling. He also worked the dinner shift and was a hard worker and an "Honor Cadet", meaning NO demerits and outstanding grades. We played on the basketball team together. He played JV only his first year, quickly moving to play "center" on the Varsity. He was an excellent ballplayer and the coaching staff loved him.Robbie, Milton Frederick Hartenbower, and Lex Carroll and I all lived in Vass Hall in room 4 that first year.Robbie slept on the top bunk to the right as you walked into the room. I used to go over to his house in Century Homes and hang out with him and his very sweet mom. Even though I was a Portsmouth boy. This IS a great loss to the community and to his FMA brothers. After I received that dreaded call yesterday I was on the phone for hours to his brother cadets. His other roommate Milton Frederick Hartenbower spent an hour on the phone with me. TO HIS FAMILY you were lucky to have such a good man. I write this with tears in my eyes. Goodbye Robbie, love you man.
