I was sadden to read of the passing of Mr. Dewitt. I work for a bank and Mr. Dewitt was one of my favorite customers (and favorite police officers) over 20 years ago.

He was always a gentleman with a smile on his face. He touched many lives in his journey.

My God grant you comfort in your time of loss.

I am sorry to hear of the loss of Bobby. Growing up across the street from a police officer was a good thing in my life. I will never forget life's lesson Bobby taught me about fast cars. I will always be thankful for the outstanding friendship he had for my father. The Gamecock fans will be short one great supporter. The best to you and entire family. May God comfort you in your time of need.

How sad it was to learn of Bobby's death.

My memories of our Rivers high school days will always be,and have always been, a wonderful part of my life. Bobby.Mac and Ronnie were my friends.Our infrequent meetings after high school were always warm and friendly and full of conversations of the "old days" We were students,friends,athletes and we always supported each other.

Florence,I would wish you, your daughters and your grandchildren the very happiest of memories of Bobby.

What a great friend he was.

With love to you all,

Tom Bailey

My heart and prayers go out to the Dewitt family. I worked with Bobby at the Chas. County Police Dept and he was a great man to work with. He was always a good friend to me. I am sure he will be missed but just remember he is in Jesus' hands now.
