After relentless persistence, we're excited to share that Toms River Township came out to begin cleaning off the massive accumulation of sand from the mobi-mats, making our walkways more accessible. The next step in the process will have them use a "powerbrush" to finish up, then they will roll the mats up for the remainder of the winter. ㅤ A special thank you to Marc De Lorenzo, Lifeguard Co-Captain and Co-Beach Manager, who has helped to spearhead the coordination of these updates and the progress we're seeing.

𝐈𝐧 𝐋𝐨𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐌𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐓𝐡𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐬 “𝐓𝐨𝐦” 𝐁𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐭, 𝐒𝐫. Some people come to Ocean Beach 2 for the summers. Others become part of what makes this community so special. Tom Barrett, Sr. was undoubtedly one of those people. ㅤ Known affectionately to generations of neighbors, friends, and young lifeguards as “Mr. B,” “Mr. Barrett,” or simply “G,” Tom was so much more than a familiar face on the beach. He was a friend, a mentor, a generous supporter, and, in every sense of the word, a pillar of our community. ㅤ After years of renting in Ocean Beach 2, Tom and his beloved late wife, Susan, made this community their family's summer home, building a legacy that now spans three generations. ㅤ All four of their children — Suzanne, Courtney, Thomas, and Michael — grew up here, working and volunteering in nearly every role our community had to offer. They went on to raise their own families here, giving Tom the joy of watching all nine of his grandchildren make memories on those same beaches. ㅤ Whether volunteering, donating his time and expertise, or offering advice and a helping hand, Tom gave so much of himself without ever expecting anything in return. ㅤ He had a remarkable appreciation for life. Rain or shine, every day at the beach was “another day in paradise.” His kindness, wisdom, and generosity touched countless lives. ㅤ Our hearts go out to the entire Barrett family. ㅤ 𝐎𝐜𝐞𝐚𝐧 𝐁𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡 𝟐 𝐢𝐬 𝐚 𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐓𝐨𝐦 𝐁𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐢𝐭. The legacy he and Susan built will live on through their family and the community they loved so dearly. ㅤ The beach won't be quite the same without you, Mr. B. Rest peacefully, Tom. And thank you for everything. ㅤ 𝐒̲𝐞̲𝐫̲𝐯̲𝐢̲𝐜̲𝐞̲𝐬̲ ̲&̲ ̲𝐀̲𝐫̲𝐫̲𝐚̲𝐧̲𝐠̲𝐞̲𝐦̲𝐞̲𝐧̲𝐭̲𝐬̲ → Wake: Thursday, October 15, 2026, from 4:00–8:00 PM Vander Plaat Funeral Home 257 Godwin Ave, Wyckoff, NJ 07481 ㅤ → Funeral Mass: Friday, October 16, 2026, at 10:00 AM St. Elizabeth's Church 700 Wyckoff Ave, Wyckoff, NJ 07481

Following the significant flooding from the storms a few weeks ago, we are now beginning to see some of the longer-term effects on the Clubhouse. Sections of the flooring have started to warp, buckle, and lift as moisture continues to affect the material underneath. We are actively working to remediate the affected areas and mitigate any further damage wherever possible. Our goal is to make necessary repairs and keep the floor safe and usable without having to replace the entire floor. We’ll continue monitoring the affected areas and addressing issues as they develop. We wanted to share this with the community as another example of some of the maintenance challenges we are currently working through at the Clubhouse.

While investigating a recent drain clog at the Clubhouse, we uncovered a larger issue with the condition of the existing plumbing. ㅤ As you can see in the photos, there is significant buildup and corrosion inside the drain piping. The plumber who inspected the system believes this condition is likely present throughout much of the existing plumbing and advised us that any repairs made at this point would likely be temporary rather than a long-term solution. ㅤ This is particularly concerning because we experienced a similar issue last year that resulted in a major backup of the Clubhouse toilets. ㅤ We wanted to share these photos with the community so everyone has a clear picture of the condition of some of the infrastructure we are currently dealing with. We will continue evaluating the situation and determining the most practical steps to keep the facilities operational while avoiding larger plumbing failures.

Annie and her husband Dave purchased their bungalow on Harbor Drive in 1975, where she spent countless summers raising their two children, Suzanne and David. A dedicated schoolteacher for 34 years, Annie retired from Essex Fells School in 2000 and then happily split her time between OB2 and Fort Myers, Florida. She was so grateful to be able to watch her four grandchildren, all who proudly served OB2 as lifeguards, grow to love this community as much as she did. Her legacy lives on in them. She will be deeply missed by the many friends and family she leaves behind.
