Bob and I had many good times an many many laughs together. I miss him an think of him often. We lived on the same block an went to the same high school an became close friends. I have never meet a more generous man. One thing I must mention is how much he loved his nieces an nephews. He talked about them often. I'm sure Bob will forever be in their hearts.

Even though i never got to see him much he stilled made me laugh and made me smile. He always tried to make it to me or my brothers sports game and we would always go out for some food after and that i will never forget. I know he is in a better place and i will be with him again someday and look back at life and say we had a wonderful life together and never forget it.

To Family and Friends of Bob. My memories of Bob are like light passing in space traveling at great speed. Bob and I grew up together on 79th and Pulaski Chicago. We attended Bogan H.S together and played on the Varsity Baseball team coached by Mr. McGee. I pitched and Bob was a catcher and voted one of the best in our H.S league. Bob also played for Chicago Lawn Pony League. Bob was a patient man and very articulate in H.S. That showed in his drafting class where his project was the best and placed on display. These qualities were what made him a very good police officer/ Detective for the Chicago Police Dept. where he served till age 50. Even being miles away from Bob he was still one of my best friends. I will miss him dearly, but will pray for him always. To Bob and Family from one Irishman to another, I give the Irish Blessing. May the road rise up to meet you, May the wind be always at your back, May the sun be warm against your face, and the rain fall softly upon your fields, May The Good Lord hold you in the hollow of his hand. Till we meet again Bob, I will keep you and you're Family in my prayers.

Always
Rich and Marge Trench
Dallas Georgia.

Dear O'Loughlin Family
My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. Bob was a great guy that I had the honor of working with while in SOG. He had a great sense of humor and laughed at his jokes harder than the rest of us did which made me laugh more at his own reaction than the story he told. He will be missed by all who knew him.

To all of the O'Loughlin family;(my extended family), I send you my heartfelt sympathy and prayers. What a tremendous loss for all of us. Bob was a very kind, generous, caring, gentle man and his presence at all of our family gatherings will be greatly missed. Whenever I pass a Fannie Mae, I will have fond memories of Bob. God bless each one of you as you grieve the loss of this wonderful man.

Dear O'Laughlin Family,
Please accept my heartfelt condolences. Bob and I were in the same class in the police academy in June 1971. We kept in touch throughout our careers and simultaneously worked in several of the same units. He was a true gentleman and a great detective. God bless him and you.
