Pecan Bill

Our dear friend Bill Stilson, also known as Pecan Bill has passed away. Not from Covid which is always the question these days. Bill had a stroke many years ago and has dealt with the results of that the remainder of his life. And he dealt with that very well.

One of the ways he used his time was buying pecans in bulk and then picking and packing them to sell at the monthly garage sales in Magnolia Park in South Texas. Most days a walk by their patio would find him sitting at his table working on his pecans but he always took time to visit. Thus his nickname, Pecan Bill.

Bill was a happy person, always ready with a joke. He loved to hear them too. Always a fun and happy guy, never dwelling on the difficulties he endured that the rest of us never had to. He has been missed this past year especially, being the first year in twenty that he did not go to Texas. But he will be missed far into the future as well.
