My good friends wife called this morning to let us know, that my good friend Bill Krick a retired Fire Chief of 30 years with
The West Palm Beach Fire Department . West Palm Bch. Fl. was missing after he tried to retrieve his flats boat broke loose
from a rented house boat he an two friends rented on a fishing trip in the Everglades National Park , We don't know what happened
as of yet, But the one friend said Bill dove in the water to try to retrieve his flats boat and his friend went to get a life jacket when
he saw Bill having trouble and when he came back Bill was gone. We received word just this afternoon that his body had bean recovered.
Bill was 67 years old and and loved to fish. Bill and his friends do this trip every year. I was invited to go this year but because of a job I had
just taken a contract on would not allow it. I know this type of thing happens all the time, but I cant help but think if I had gone Bill would
be alive today. I would not have let him to try to retrieve that boat alone. Our harts and prayers go out to Bills wife and family. He had just
received news two weeks that he was going to be a Grandpa. I will truly miss you Bill.
for sure.
