We received this news over the weekend. Our deepest condolences to his family, who he adored. We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers.
Many of you know Bob Black and mourn his loss as we do. Bob never met a stranger. He was always ready to assist anyone in need. He could tell a good story from a lifetime of experiences. He was a wealth of knowledge and a true gentleman.
If you didn't know him personally and you fish in the waters off Brunswick County you have benefited greatly from his good work with the Long Bay Artificial Reef Association. He and a few others put countless man hours into securing funding, advocating for, obtaining material, equipment, and permits, and creating a partnership with the NC Marine Fisheries to make the reefs off Brunswick County a reality.
We will miss Bob. May you have fair winds and following seas.
