The resolution designates June 1 of each year as Robert Bob Popovics Day in New Jersey, honoring the legacy of Bob Popovics, who was a dedicated community member and veteran. Born in Trenton and a longtime resident of Seaside Park, Bob served in the United States Marine Corps during the Vietnam War and was known for his generosity and involvement in local activities, particularly through his operation of the Shady Rest restaurant in Bayville alongside his wife. He was also a prominent figure in the fishing community, recognized for his skills as a fly fisherman and master fly tyer, and he founded Pop Fleyes, a custom fly tying and educational company.

The resolution acknowledges Bob's significant contributions to his community and the fishing industry, including his groundbreaking fly designs and the establishment of the Atlantic Saltwater Flyrodders. It calls for the Governor to issue an annual proclamation recognizing June 1 as Robert Bob Popovics Day, ensuring that his memory and contributions are celebrated each year in New Jersey.
