Bob was a great man and will be missed by so many of the people whose lives he touched and enriched. I met him several years ago at the Ft. Lauderdale Boat Show through his son-in-law Joel and daughter Debbie (of Joel's Outboard Marine in Ft. Lauderdale) and he was actually the person that finally convinced me to buy a Hewes Bonefisher which I will never forget nor regret. R.I.P. Bob and may you always find calm & friendly seas wherever you go!

I never met Bob, but I had a "bulletproof" 1984 Hewes Bonefisher II that provided many good days on the water. R.I.P Mr. Hewes!
