William Stratton Pollitzer

Stratty was a great one and brought a lot of joy ( and fish) to me, my family and many out of town first-time fisherman. I was always struck by his life experience and his world view and his ability to convey excellent advice through storytelling. This really made a good impression on young people and even us older frIends noticed what a tremendous angler and person he was, without any need to brag on himself. I will miss him a great deal and remember hiim reverantly . Excellent duck...

Christian and Family,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

I made a trip with Stratty and Woodie on the Arenas fishing out of McClellanville. Stratty left after that trip and went back to Beaufort. I made a few more trips with Woody and Skeeter.I ran into Stratty about 15 years later. Then again after another few years. Safe to say, we had more in common than the Arenas.

Hard to believe WS is gone. I'd have figured he'd be at all our funerals. The Marquis du Meau d'Laun, an icon, a natural poet, a lowcountry legend. You will be sorely missed.

Not many people in this world get to know, or even meet a character like
Stratty Pollitzer. I consider myself LUCKY.

My life, my girls' lives will be richer because of Big Daddy, Big Stratty. I just don't have words that describe his big hug when he welcomed you into a room, his laughter, his perfect words that made you feel okay. You will be anchored in our hearts forever Big Daddy! We love you! -Wendy, Abbie and Julia

One of the finest men I had the pleasure of knowing...I will miss you Stratty

Whistlin' and a fishin' into heaven. Fish on, God!
