Being involved with MSBA I had the leasure of meeting Bob many times before he got sick. We still get reports on how he is doing and all I can say is alz... is a nasty nasty disease.
Bob founded Stripers Unlimited and his company Atom was the principle funding source. Bob used to assemble teams of both scientists and volunteers to travel to theh chesapeake bay and then he paid for and conducted some of the first science dedicated to Striped Bass.
Bob was laughed at by most of the greats of the era. The old guard tells some funny stories of how they all thought he was nuts and used to give him a hard time. Eventually, Bob was proven correct on manny of his theories. Bob was talking striped bass conservation twenty years before everyone else, especially sport fishers.
There is no one human that has given more time, spent more of their own money or in general done more for Striped Bass..period!!!
On my way out this evenign I am goignt os top by my church and say a prayer there...this many deserves peace.
