Captain Wild Bill or Billy, loved his many stays at the Big Pine Key Fishing Lodge where he enjoyed catching Mahi Mahi, grouper and snapper. He was a SCUBA diver and enjoyed spear fishing and harvesting lobster.

Bill was a loving husband and father who always kept us laughing. He will be missed but we know he will still be there watching over us.
