The funeral arrangements for Shady Rest Restaurant owner and renowned fisherman Bob Popovics, who passed away on November 1, have been made public.
The family said on the
Shady Rest Facebook page that Popovics, a Marine, will be viewed on Veterans Day, Nov. 11, from 3 to 7 p.m. at
Timothy Ryan Home for Funerals on St. Catherine's Blvd. in Toms River.
The family asks that donations be sent to the newly established Bob Popovics Memorial Scholarship Foundation in place of flowers. We'll be sharing information on how to give soon. The money will be used to support college students pursuing courses in ecology, conservation, or marine biology.
Popovics, 75, passed away as a result of injuries sustained in a
hit-and-run in Seaside Heights in September.
