I remember going on a trip w/Pat & Capt. Bill and my grand daughter losing her hat in the water, and the great effort it took to "capture" the hat for a very upset young girl. He was one in a million man and leaves us all with beautiful memories and stories.

I'll always remember the time spent at your home in Delaware with Suzie and being a mate on the Stephanie Anne.
Not only did you teach me a lot about the fishing and twilight cruises but you treated me as your own.
I'll never forget the love and hospitality you showed me the summer of 1977.
You'll always hold a special place in my heart, Captian Bill aka Dad ❤️
Much love and God Speed Norma Rago Weaver
