Jaws 2[]
Bob is Larry Vaughn, Jr.'s best friend. Riding with Larry Vaughn, Jr. on his catamaran after his boat sank due to the shark attack, Bob watched the ensuing chaos as Marge, along with Sean Brody, fell off their boat and Mike got knocked unconscious and accidentally thrown off his boat. Patrick and Lucy, soon after, crashed into Timmy and Brooke's boat, and the shark swam away.
After Timmy and Polo offered to take an unconscious Mike to find help, Bob helped Patrick tow the other teens' boats together to create a makeshift raft.
After a helicopter sent out to help them was attacked by the shark, Marge, Sean, and Lucy helped him by removing the damaged sail which had fallen on top of him. He later fell into the water along with Sean and Larry Vaughn, Jr. when the shark knocked the raft around. As Andy Nicholas pulled him out, they helplessly watched as Marge was killed by the shark after saving Sean.
When a traumatized Sean was scared and grieving after Marge's death, Bob, Larry, Jr., and Andy threw a rope to him, and he tied it to the fin of the boat, and Bob pulled it towards them. Sean was still clinging onto Marge's boat, still scared. When it was close enough, Sean walked, and Andy caught him, and they accidentally knocked Junior Vaughn into the water.
Bob was the first one to spot Cable Junction. After Chief Brody arrived to save them, the shark attacked them once again, knocking all the teens except for Jackie and Sean into the water. Bob and the other teens managed to swim to Cable Junction for safety. After Brody finally killed the shark, Bob was seen quietly thanking him on the rocks of Cable Junction.
