William "Billy" B. Seddinger

Born and raised in Dillon, South Carolina, Billy began his professional life by establishing and operating a successful finance company, credit bureau, real estate/ construction business. Known for his hard work and fairness he built lasting relationships throughout the region.

In time his entrepreneurial spirit led him to North Myrtle Beach, where he purchased a real estate business renaming it Grand Strand Realty and built it into a successful real estate and vacation rental business. As a builder and developer he set new standards for large oceanfront vacation homes influencing the growth and quality of coastal development along the Grand Strand.

When he wasn't building or managing properties Billy took joy in sportfishing on his beloved boat and later spending time on his farm, continually improving and nurturing the land he loved.

As a Shriner and Mason he dedicated himself to service and fellowship. Billy was a proud veteran of the United States Navy and Marine Corp. In North Myrtle Beach, he was an attendee of Chapel By The Sea Baptist Church where he cherished the worship and community.

Above all, he will be remembered as a loving and devoted husband, a caring steadfast father and grandfather. His family was the heart of his world and he enriched their lives with his wisdom, compassion and unwavering support.

Billy leaves behind a legacy of strength, generosity and purpose. His presence will be deeply missed and forever treasured by all who knew and loved him.
