06-03-2010 08:25 AMBill and I raced together for years. He and Bobby Moore, Big Dirty and I had some real fun and some success. Bill later backed my Nova Marine company. I can say without a doubt, that Bill was the nicest, most unpretentious man I ever met.

06-03-2010 05:01 PMA sad year.
Crouse before and now Wishnick.
His boats have all made history in the Offshore.
He is among the greatest players of our sport.
I hadn't the pleasure to know him personally but now I cry him.

06-05-2010 07:55 AMI used to see Bill every morning at the 7-11 in Point Pleasant Beach where we'd both get our coffee and newspaper and talk about racing...and his Z-28 "Bear Cat." He was a great guy and a true offshore legend.
