I am so sorry to hear about the passing of Bill! I grew up on the same street, Winford Ave from elementary to middle school. I have found memories in the neighborhood and the parties at his house in high school. Lost track of him past high school. Always wondered what happened to him. I recall him as smart and loved to live. May he rest in peace.
Bill and I have been working together at Sherwin Williams for years. He was so much more than a coworker to all of us. He was our friend. He told great stories but he was also a great listener. He was kind, thoughtful, honest, dependable and had a wonderful sense of humor. Bill was a big part of our little work family and we all miss him dearly.
I heard of this news upon seeing Bill’s obituary. I worked with Bill at Big 5, and although we had a significant age gap (I went to school with his daughter), I just loved him. He was funny, friendly, and ALWAYS happy. He was my favorite coworker and after I left Big 5, I often wondered what he was up to. I’m so saddened by his passing but felt moved to share my thoughts. Bill was a wonderful coworker, friend, and just a stand-up human. My condolences to all of those who love him.
