Captain Chris just called me with an update. This is very early info and is not finalized.
Sunday at Dordy Funeral Home, Wilmington
Monday internment.
We had a tough time talking!!!!!!!
He intends to continue running the reelistic.
Funds for the family info to follow but he is thinking of selling all of the stock of Reelistic T shirts. I offered to sell them in the store with 100% of the proceeds to go to the family. Any donations can be made here or I am sure at any tackle shop and they will be forwarded. I am also sure that you will be able to get the T shirts at any tackle shop.
Chris has heard of the plans for a tournament in Bill's name and likes the idea that funds would go to Billy's family.
His family appreciates all of the heartfelt sympathy that has been extended by this board.
I will post more when I know more.

I wanted to let everyone know that it was a tragic accident. Catp Billy died from accidental drowning. There was no, I repeat NO heart trouble. I was at the Verbanas house when the call came in. Please keep on praying for The family and Chris. |
