Debbie Lykins wrote a sympathy message

“I worked for Bill for 16 years and in that time, not once did I ever see him angry or hear him raise his voice. He was the best boss I have ever had. I learned a lot working for him and that knowledge has served me well in my working life. He treated all of so well and we all just adored him. My heart goes out to Doris and all his family. He was one in a million, and he will be greatly missed.”
