This was my first job. Bill was a wonderful boss, manager and just a nice person to be around. He helped me grow and I was the day manager for Hungry Herman. The team worked all weekend to get the store opened, then some returned to see the first sandwich sold. I thank Bill for helping all of us hard working team members grow. Hello, to Sarabess and the family, may God continue to bless you.
