Bruce Robert Weaver was 50 when he went missing after a boating accident off Delaware on October 9, 2008. He was aboard a vessel that left the Indian River Inlet and was struck or swamped by a wave near the Delaware Bay Buoy; the boat rapidly took on water and sank, throwing him and five companions into the sea. The charter boat Tranquila found the scene around sunset about seven miles offshore and rescued five people, who were reportedly in the water for about eight hours before being taken aboard and given first aid. Bruce did not survive the incident and extensive searches failed to recover him.

He is described as White, brown hair and brown eyes, about 5 feet 6 inches to 5 feet 7 inches tall and 130 to 140 pounds. His obituary names him as the beloved husband of Wanda M. Kreiser Weaver and records his death as resulting from the fishing accident.

Did anyone on this site have contact with Bruce or the other passengers before that October outing, or information about the rescue and search efforts?
