Lou M CharobeeI am so sorry to hear of Bill's passing. We worked together at Buehler in sales from the 70's through the late 90's. I periodically stayed in touch via LinkedIn and occasionally over the phone. We shared our love for cars and driving. I will miss his humor and happy disposition. RIP friend.

Mike GavaganBill was a great man. Having worked with him and for him for over 11 years at Buehler, I learned what a calm, collective man that he was. He was a great Lab Tech, a great salesman, and a great Sales Manager. While he was living in Kenosha, he would hitch a ride from me occasionally since we lived so close to each other. It was about a 45-60 minute ride sometimes, so there was plenty of time to talk. I can tell you that I learned a lot during those rides, and I learned about a man who really seemed to be one with inner peace. He was a natural at turning a negative situation into a positive one. It was a joy to know you Bill, and I will remember you until it is my turn. From the heart, Mike Gavagan
