Bob was my sergeant in NE patrol. He recommended me for Rookie of the year in 1984 and spent each Work day teaching and coaching me in this profession. He and his wife visited us in MN when we left Dallas. He was a great man. I miss him. J.E. Bender #5159
I worked in dispatch with Bob back in the early 70,s . He was a good man and a good cop.He will be missed. Wayne Brandon
My deepest love and sympathies for your family. Uncle Bob will be greatly missed!
I did not know Bob extremely well but, our encounters were always good and I saw him as being a good man who knew God. God knows him so much better than I and I know that that is where Bob’s soul will be resting and celebrating. God bless Coker family
So sorry for your family! God bless you!
Mary and family, my sincere sympathies for you at this time of grieving. May you draw comfort and peace from the Lord.
Bob was one of the DPD Good Guys. It was a pleasure to have known him from our DPD days. As retiree’s we crossed path’s at the retiree’s luncheons, breakfast’s,and other retiree functions. My heartfelt prayers to his family and many friend’s during this time of grief and sorrow. Philippians 1:21- For me to live is Christ,to die is gain. May Godspeed, and RIP my Brother in Blue. John R.

I want to send my condolences to the Coker Family. I am a Retired Dallas PD Officer and worked with Bob many years ago. I am also an Amateur Radio Operator (W5GBL) and had many good times talking about this hobby. Thanks for his service in the Military and Dallas PD.
