Bill Ives recently passed away following a tough battle with cancer at the age of 87.
Mr Ives’ granddaughter Crystal Hudson said that her pop was a remarkable man who lived most of his life on the water and fishing.
“He was hard working and would always make time to spend with friends and family, whilst always inspiring and motivating us to achieve great things,” Ms Hudson said.
“His true passion was at Volunteer Marine Rescue for the past 20 plus years, helping others in the Gladstone community and teaching mariners advanced skills including tying knots that will be passed on for many generations.”

“A Stage for Viewing” pavilion and sculpture, photographed in December 2020, is a gathering place at The Fly.
Who even calls the stretch of greenspace overlooking the Mississippi River “Audubon Riverview Park”? But that is its official name. The current pavilion in the park everyone refers to as “The Fly” has a history dating back more than 25 years.
That structure, officially named “A Stage for Viewing,” was damaged in October’s Hurricane Zeta in October, and the process of replacing its shredded roof is still in play.
It’s this structure’s predecessor that gave the stretch of land by the river its name. Few today can remember the original building that people thought resembled a butterfly. So the park gained the nickname “The Butterfly,” which was then shortened to “The Fly.” The building, which housed concessions and restrooms, was actually supposed to resemble gull wings.
