Malcolm Cavanagh Fraser, 91, passed away on Saturday, November 13, 2021 at his home in Cape May Point, NJ. He was born in Englewood, NJ on November 26, 1929 to Stanley and Helen Fraser (nee Cavanagh). He lived in Englewood, NJ and Brooklyn, NY until the age of 7 when he moved to Nutley, NJ where he spent his growing up years. He graduated from Nutley High in 1947. In 1951 he received a ME degree from Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken, NJ. He continued his education by taking several graduate courses at Stevens Institute and at Alexander Hamilton Institution studying Industrial Management and Business Administration. After graduating from college in 1951, Malcolm worked for Ingersoll-Rand for 40 years with 2 years out serving in the Army in El Paso, TX during the Korean Conflict from 1954 to 1956. Throughout his career with Ingersoll-Rand, he worked for the company in New York City, Corning, NY, The Netherlands, and Houston, TX. Forty percent of his business career was in International Business. From 1975 to 1983 he was a cognizant member of the Board of IR Compression Services SA, registered with the Dutch government. In his final decade with Ingersoll-Rand, he worked on special assignments, domestically and internationally, negotiating acceptable settlements when companies had significant difficulties. Malcolm loved Cape May Point and was honored when he was elected mayor in 1992 – a position he proudly served for 16 years. He always felt it was important to give back to a community and spent his life doing this wherever he lived. From 1962 to 1967 in Westfield, NJ he was co-chairman of the United Fund Residential Drive and was president of the YMCA Service Club. From 1967 to 1974 in Corning, NY, he was on the Board of Directors of the YMCA and president for 3 terms; Treasurer for the Boy Scout Troop Committee; and on the vestry of Christ Episcopal Church. From 1978 to 1980 while living in the Netherlands, he was on the School Board of the American School of the Hague.

Later in adulthood, he put together everything he compiled, updated it and made it into a book titled “The Charmed Circle” which is displayed at The Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, NY. Excerpts from the book were also printed in a local baseball publication. As a young boy Malcolm would buy metal soldiers whenever he could earning money doing odd jobs in the neighborhood. Those metal soldiers along with his more recent purchased are historically placed in front of his impressive library stocked with history books. Malcolm strongly supported the Boy Scouts of America. He recognized the positive influence it had on youth and in leadership development. In 1945 he earned his Eagle Scout and was very proud that 3 of his sons achieved that rank as well.

Robert Grubb, Jr., a.k.a. "Jetty Bob," chief fisherman of the Lehigh Ave rock pile in Cape May Point, tipped his cap to the world on Nov. 12, 2021, as he took his last breath surrounded by family, listening to his Spotify playlist. They broke the mold with this true Renaissance man. A First Lieutenant officer in the United States Army, Robert swept his wife of 53 years, Martie, off her feet while stationed in Wurzburg, Germany. He would often recount when he first laid eyes on her as if a beam of light struck him. "Your mother looked like an angel," Bob would say. The moment she walked through the door, he said, "Take a good look, fellas; that's the girl I'm going to marry." Their serendipitous encounter, and subsequent whirlwind romance, brought them home to settle their family home in South Jersey. Life was never dull in Bob's house, especially in his garage of organized chaos. A natural creative, Bob's unique style raised his four girls to be lifelong learners, remember their manners, change a flat tire, bait a fishing hook, be in tune with humanity and nature, and know a happy chance when they see one. He is survived in life by three daughters Laura Anna Baldwin of Glenside, PA; Martha Colleen Ferraioli of Brooklyn, NY; Sarah Grubb of NC, and is now sipping a vanilla whisky and catching up with his beloved daughter, Tess Emily Grubb, who preceded him in death. He was never so proud as the day his girls brought men into the family. He finally had partners in crime for his antics, rounds of poker, and gag jokes. He shared special bonds with his sons-in-law Tim, John-Peter, and Kenny, casting a net for minnows, picking up gems at yard sales, and luring them to visit when the 'blues or stripers' were running. He was affectionately known as 'Bob-Bob' by his seven grandchildren, his greatest fans. He loved them as brilliant and independent characters in their own right, including Tyler, Josie, Helaina, Max, John, Robert, and Lindsay. They all believed Bob-Bob was the notorious pirate Captain Kool, whose secret map once led them to buried treasure. He is also known for his haircuts, tasty cakes, lottery tickets, picture wall, BB guns, funky Vans, and hoarding just about everything. His annual 'Bob-Bob Games' were the joy of Thanksgiving Day, testing agility, balance, aim, and ability to guess the number of M&Ms in a jar. With family roots running deep in Cape May Point, Bob Grubb Jr. lived his final days proud to be the oldest surviving lifeguard, serving in the '60s with his dearly departed friend Jack Leming. He was so proud of the men and women who protect us in the Cape May Point Beach Patrol every summer, winning guard races in the boat named for his late parents 'Bob and Nancy Grubb'. As a dedicated son, Bob Jr. is survived by his two younger brothers, Paul and David Grubb, and their spouses, Charles and Marti, respectively. Bob Jr.'s passing further marks the 50th anniversary of the CMP Beach program, with the 2021 seasonal tag named as a tribute to his late father, Bob Grubb Sr., the founding director of the beach program in 1972 and CMP lifeguard in the 1930s. Known as "Bob" or "Bobby" to his cast of local characters, he was also the Dr. Dolittle of Cape May's wildlife. He never met a dog he didn't love or that didn't know Bob had doggie biscuits in each pocket of his cargo shorts. Sitting on his front porch, his melodious whistle and click of his cheek would attract critter attention far and wide. He would line up the treats for the animals that appeared or stopped by—peanuts, raisins, corn, and seed brought his regulars out of the trees, including "Tapper," the blue jay, who came rapping at his front door. His spirit is now free on the wings of every catbird calling for their raisins on the deck. The Grubb family is deeply grateful to the men and women of Cape May Point Beach Patrol and the Borough of Cape May Point, who gave their time and energy to accessibility efforts. Having a sand wheelchair and entrance ramps to the beach to access his favorite fishing spots provided Bob with the best last summer of his life. A warm thank you to Bill Oat, Chris Garrison, and their teams for going above and beyond in service to a fellow lifeguard. His courageous battle with prostate cancer is the ultimate demonstration of his intense love for life and his fight to have one more day with his family in the Cape May Point home he loved so dearly. Spilker Funeral Home of Cape May will preside over a small, close family graveside ceremony. In lieu of flowers, honor Bob's memory by contributing to the Cape May Point Beach Patrol to support the access, care, and safety of our beautiful beaches through “In Memory Of” online at www.inmemof.org/bob-grubb info and condolences:spilkerfuneralhome.com

While living on Governors Island, he and his brother Rick would fish at every opportunity, providing many dinners for family and neighbors from a day’s catch.Frank descended from a long line of fisherman, and it was no surprise that he was an avid and successful mariner and celestial navigator.

During his travels, he met and married the love of his life, Hien, and they settled in Vung Tau, South Vietnam, where they raised their son, Erik.Frank’s time at sea was difficult for his family, but he always said the sea was his home. His children loved to hear stories of his adventures, particularly when he was kidnapped in Africa and talked his captors into taking him back to his hotel, or of one Christmas Eve in Russia, when he became the guest of honor at a mob gathering, for giving the boss’ son a chocolate bar.Frank retired in 2018 and the family moved stateside to Milton, DE. Even after retirement, his love of the sea remained, and he knew the best fishing spots from Cape May to Lewes.A legend until the end, Frank selflessly saved the lives of two people through the gift of organ donation.Frank is survived by his wife, Hien Truong Speigel of Milton, DE; his children: Jennifer Speigel (Thai Duong) of Abington, PA, Kristy Speigel Berringer (Michael) of Annapolis, MD, Meghann Speigel Kellaway (Chris) of Cape May, NJ, and Erik Speigel of Milton, DE; his grandchildren: Ella, Weston, Gavin, Damian, and Clark; his mother and stepfather, Sandra (Hitchner) and Richard “Sharpie” Sharp; his sister, Sherri Penuel (Mark) of Milton, DE; his brother, Rick Speigel of Vietnam; his former wife, Suzanne (Dietz) Speigel of Cape May, NJ; many nieces and nephews; and his extended family in Vietnam.The family would like to extend their heartfelt gratitude to the staff at Beebe Hospital, for their compassion, knowledge, and guidance.Services are private.
