I had the good fortune to work with Bill at the Great Zollner Corporation for a few years before he retired. He was a prince of a guy, always upbeat smiling and positive. He treated me great, I was just the mail boy. Jim was well-liked and admired by all those who worked with him and knew him. His son Jim was the same, a great guy to know.
My sympathies to his family on Jim's passing, he was great one.

My Dad worked with Bill at Zollners for many years. We bowled together at Key Lanes bowling alley. My Mom n Dad named me after him. He was a good friend and good bowler. My prayers are with you in this time of grief n sadness.
