A very nice person, great food, and a pretty good golfer and he will be missed

Mr. Shiver was a wonderful man, and he will be missed dearly by his friends and community.

RIP my friend, I wished I got to see you one more time!

What great memories....best boss ever!

Mr. Shivers was my boss when I was in my mid-20s, both at the original SHIVERS BARBECUE on San Marco (right around the corner from my old house!) and at the other SHIVERS BARBECUE in Palatka back in the mid-90s.

Our fondest memories are of Bill smiling at Shivers BBQ. It was Jake's coffee stop throughout his Jake's Appliance Service workday AND our family go to place for a wonderful meal. Those times, Bill always made us feel like "family." TC's great peach cobbler and Bill's smile and chuckle were part of us! Bill you will be missed and remembered as a good guy who helped so many.
