So sorry to hear of WWC’s passing. Bill was a close and true friend. I worked with him all 36 years at Kraft. He was so proud of his children and cared deeply for his wife. Over the years I shared many of his good and not so good times. I want all of you to know that he talked so much of all of you. I talked to him a few months back and said I would have lunch with him. I didn’t do it. I have to be out of state this weekend. I know he is in a better place. He will see his old pal from Kraft, Stanley. My thoughts are with you all
My deepest condolences on Uncle Bills passing. You all will be in our thoughts and prayers.
So sorry to hear of Bill Passin on, he was a good friend and coworker, we had many good times in the freezer, God bless him and his family too!!!
prayers to the family…sorry for your loss…in sympathy, Kim Wood
Jana, so sorry to hear about BI. MY prayers to you and your family…
To the family of our Teamster brother, Bill Clark (WWC), Sorry for your loss.
God’s plan is not always our plan.
We first met in 1996 while I was first qualifying for work in the (CSW) Cold Storage Warehouse; The cold -10 degrees The concrete, The high steel. A menacing cavernous place, especially for a newbie like myself, who had never driven a fork truck. It’s because of the patience and compassion of Bill that I even had a chance to qualify. He saw potential in me that I couldn’t see myself. It’s because of him that I not only qualified but went on to be a successful group leader which he had predicted! Thank you Bill Clark.
