We of Lane 7 at Manheim Auto Auction were so saddened to learn today at our lane meeting of Bill’s passing. He was always upbeat and a catalyst of hilarity among our group. As I shared the news, others remarked as I was thinking that “we just saw him here (at the auction) just a couple weeks ago”. He was a good, steady worker (I think I wrote that on the last evaluation I did regarding him) and competent. I could count on him. I remember when he responded to my question about his illness that there was nothing to be done and that he would just keep working as long as he could. And he did. To Bill’s family–I am so sorry for your loss. My prayers, Denise Zabala–Dispatcher, Lane 7.

I was so taken back when I learned of the news. Bill will always be remember by myself and my father Ray Shuman. The memories of Bill and Ruth with Mom and Dad,(Evie and Ray) having so many good times together. I remmember the hunting trips that Bill,Dad and myself would take mostly on Saturdays. Legion dinners were also a highlight that I join on occasion. He always knew how to make you feel good. Always well spoken with a great presence.
Our sincere condolences,
