It all began with him

It is with profound sadness that I must announce the passing of the Butter-nut Sport Shop’s founder and owner, William “Wild Bill” Greene Sr. Bill was a Marine through and through, fighting until his last breath. However, anyone who knows Wild Bill knows that not even the Grim Reaper could take him away without a struggle. On his final day, with the help of God and his family, Bill came to peace with all that he’d done throughout his life and then, and only then, did he allow Death to take him. Bill has touched many lives within the 60 plus years that he devoted to his business, and my father and myself strive to do the same in continuing in Bill’s enormous footsteps. As with Wild Bill’s legacy, the Butter-nut Sport Shop will continue to live on, through many generations.
