I am just now learning of Mr. Pluim's death. He was a wonderful business teacher, and I wish i could have told him about my jobs in the business and statistics and auditing end of law enforcement. He, Ms. Jan Adams, Mr. Bigler and Mrs. Wooten shaped and equipped me to do great things. I am sorry i wasn't able to connect with him one last time.

We will miss Bill! It was always enjoyable spending time with him and we had great conversations. I was so happy for you Marcia when you met Bill. Your wedding was beautiful and some fun events. The look on Bill's face when he realized one of your gifts was a Llama...So happy you two finding the gentlemen's farm with a beautiful home on it. There are so many acts of kindness and friendship through the years to mention here. Please just know we valued your friendship. We will miss Bill greatly...

I am saddened to hear of Mr. Pluim's passing. He was one of my favorite teachers at Kenowa. So patient when trying to teach us to type, I have always appreciated that! He was a great guy who will be missed! Condolences to his family.

He was a great teacher who wanted us to understand how the world worked when it came to using our time, talents, & money! He was one of those teachers that you liked while in high school but liked even more & more after high school.

Sorry to hear of Bill's passing. He used to come to the auction to buy hay. Always a smile, always happy, and always a story to tell. His family is in our prayers. We count it a privilege to know Bill.
