I remember this one time at about 11:30 pm when I was driving around Floral Park and I saw Bobby on his bike of course. I pulled into the associated parking lot and he pulled out this flashlight. I swear it was the brightest light I have ever seen. He shined it in my eyes and said with his hysterical voice, "license and registration please." I laughed and gave him my license. He examined it of course and asked me a few questions just to make sure it was me. After he shined the flashlight in my eyes for about the 5th time he said, "have you been drinking tonight?" I laughed and said "of course not Bobby, I'm against drinking and driving." He searched around my car and then told me that if I didn't take my car in for an inspection he would give me a ticket. I laughed and then thanked him because if he didn't tell me, I probably really would've gotten a ticket. We joked around for a little while and then I went home. I thanked him again for warning me about my inspection.
A few weeks ago I got my first parking ticket. Since it was my first one, I had no idea where to go to pay. I saw Bobby riding his bike around town and I asked him where I could pay it. He brought me into the Town hall and of course they greeted him because how could you not know Bobby Getchel. After I brought the ticket to the counter the woman behind the desk told me that it was not a Floral Park ticket. Bobby immediately looked at me and said looks like you're at the wrong place. He told me where I could go to pay it and then we left.
Writing down these memories of Bobby is such a good feeling. Although memories last a lifetime, I wish Bobby could've been here a little bit longer. It all seems so surreal. Tonight at the vigil I heard some sirens passing by and it made me sad because I realized Bobby wouldn't be at the call. Even though I was really sad, I knew in my heart that Bobby was there in some way or another. It's going to take time for this town to heal. I think it's going to be hard for people to get out of bed and walk around town because everyone knows we won't see Bobby anymore.
At the vigil the people who spoke said "we're not exaggerating, everyone here knew Bobby and Kevin." It's amazing how that is so true. The most random people know Bobby and I guess Kevin too. As mad as I am at God right now, I really should thank him for letting me meet Bobby Getchel. He has touched my heart in a way I can't even explain. I'm so grateful that I had the pleasure of knowing such a kind, brave, selfless individual.
I believe in my heart that Eggy and Bobby died happy. Bobby finally passed his regents, Eggy graduated, everything was just so great. Even though Bobby was here for the horrible accident, he was still happy Bobby. It's incredible. Incredible that God made such a happy individual. I'm jealous of those who are already in heaven because they get to share the rest of their lives with two awesome people.
"Don't mourn the death of those who passed, praise their life."
Rest in Peace.
