Bill Walraven, a longtime local journalist and author in South Texas, passed away Thursday night. He was 88 years old.
Walraven wrote for the Corpus Christi Caller-Times for some 37 years, and was a consistent favorite among their readers. He was also a historian, and wrote more than 10 books on Texas history, including one called "The History of a Texas Seaport."
A memorial service has been set for 11 a.m. next Saturday, Dec. 21, at St. Luke's Methodist Church.
