Obituary: Robert Dever

Robert Dever, 84
Robert Dever died on Sept. 15 after having battled cancer for two years before he was finally taken by a cerebral hemorrhage. He was 84.
Known to most of Hull as “Captain Bob,” he worked many years on local fishing boats in Hull and Hingham. He also worked at the Hull Lifesaving Museum and the Hull Public Library.
He was a lifelong member of the Salt Water Club, running his charter boat company out of the club. He called the Salt Water Club his second home.
He is survived by his wife of 43 years, Eileen (Elena Guerriero), and her children, Donna Woods Fourester, of Vermont, Kathy Woods Samuels, of California, and the late Billy Woods; he also leaves seven grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.
Due to the coronavirus, a Celebration of Life will be held in late spring
