The beloved owner of a popular Bayville restaurant is still in critical condition following a hit-and-run crash on Monday. Bob Popovics has run the Shady Rest restaurant in Bayville for nearly 60 years. “When he left for Vietnam, he left from here. There are pictures of him kissing his nieces and nephews goodbye here,” said Jeremy Muermann, Popovics’ son-in-law.

The severely injured restaurant owner and sportsman was taken to Jersey Shore University Medical Center in critical condition.
