To say "I'm sorry." is just not enough. My heartfelt sympathy to all of the Payne family. I worked with Bill in West Caldwell for several years. He was always kind, fair. In addition to being a loving grandfather and father. I cannot believe he is gone. The end of an era.

I believe this is the same Bill Payne who worked for the Montclair Board of Education prior to his stint with the chamber of commerce. I was the Newark Evening News Montclair reporter in the 1960s, so I got to know him well. In addition to being helpful to a young reporter, Bill was a wonderful person. I was sad to see this online this morning
