We will be holding an informal memorial to honor "The Life and Times of Captain Billy L. Sandifer" on Sunday May 20th at 11am until 1p at the Briscoe King Pavilion just behind one of Billy's first treasured fishing locales, Bob Hall Pier. We invite Billy's friends and admirers to join us as we celebrate the life of "The Padre of Padre"

Thanks!

Tyler

Wow what an incredible time. Many of you and lots of Billy's friends and admirers showed up to celebrate Billy. The coolest thing that happened was during Dr. Mckee's talk a coyote showed up and looked in on the back door from a dune just north of the boardwalk. Billy always thought of the coyote as his talisman and that he was more coyote than homo sapiens. How fitting and cool is that? I will post a few pics.

Here is a link to the video we played when Billy was featured on the Outdoor Channel on the show "Legends of Rod and Reel". You will recognize a few of us from 10 years ago! Hopefully Wink

Amazing video. What a treat it must be for those of you whom were close to him. The coyote was definitely him crashing his own party.
