Bill was born in Tuscaloosa, Alabama on November 3, 1954. He passed away on September 6, 2021 following a short illness.

Bill’s life found him living in Alabama, Florida, Iowa and Mississippi, then Texas. He lived a life many people dream of: from fishing to boat captain, mainly in the Florida waters, to spending many years in the Bahamas.

Following his fishing ventures, Bill became a Chief Engineer with a seismograph company. Approximately 20 years ago, Bill’s vessel moored in Port O’Connor for a brief time, where he met the love of his life. Bill and Colette spent his remaining years together in Port O’Connor where Bill never was a stranger to anyone and he always helped out those in need any way he could.

He will be missed dearly by anyone who knew him. A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.

Roll Tide, my love…
