Sad Sad News!

[Dave B.]

I'm sure many here know who this good man was and no doubt some knew him personally. Were it not for him we wouldn't have the Wild trout Stream program as well as many other contributions he made to our state's great fisheries. Rest In Peace Bob, and Thank You!

Sorry to hear , had the pleasure of taking a group fishing from this facility early last summer & Bob had a great day out fishing most in the group!
He did more than most realize for NJ fisheries & will be missed at this years outing.

That's great Capt. Lou! I didn't know Bob personally, but did get a chance to meet and speak with him both online at the old njtrout board and in person at the various fisheries forums and trout meetings.

A good man and very sad to hear... 74 is too young
