In high school, although he was 2 years younger, Bill was always the epitome of “cool.” His “conservative” dance moves, his dress and demeanor always stood out, even to kids older than him. His nickname for most who knew him was “stretch,” although i can’t remember why. He was unique.
Catching Sandbar sharks and later grilling them. (*Note: this was before it became illegal!!!!)
I've known Bill Hickman for well over 50 years...I recently passed along a butcher block he had given me that he had butchered deer on one winter. Someone else can enjoy it for another 50 years...we shared some reckless times & lived long after to tell about it...xxxooo
He was a kind, generous friend and was a great neighbor too here in Pinewater. His presence at the grill with his generously donated meats was at many of our events over the years. He and his kindness will be very missed.
I loved fishing with Pa. It was my favorite thing to do with him and talk about with him. I got to be with Pa on his last fishing trip, and that was an honor!
