I was deeply saddened to hear of this tragic accident. I’ve watched Bob and that big cat run at Key West in years past, and the man and the boat both left an indelible impression on me. If you love offshore racing this can’t help but rock your world. I’ll be praying for both families in the days and weeks to come. I’m comforted knowing they were doing what God made them and called them to do on this earth, and that they are now in a better place
Our hearts and prayers go the Morgan family and the Tillman family, Big Thunders Marina and its employees and friends. This is an extremely hard time for all involved. Bob and Jeff – God speed. You will be forever in our hearts.
Our hearts and prayers go to the family and friends of both Bob and Jeff and all the crew of Big Thunder Racing. God speed.
Sad news to hear. RIP.
