Was very sorry to hear about Bill’s passing today. I had the pleasure of working with and getting to know him in the Ohio House of Representatives. He always had a smile a joke and twinkle in his eye! Sending prayers to the family and he will always be watching over you!

My father worked with Bill at Empire Detroit Steel in the Brick Mason Dept. My father spoke highly of him. My thoughts and prayers are with the family and I appreciate the time he worked with my father Roy Gregory. My father passed in 1999.

So sorry to hear of Mr. Ogg's passing. I always liked him and found him to be everyone's friend. He and his family are "good people". He was a true public servant and always helped our Southern Ohio all he could. My heart goes out to his family and they will be in my prayers.

Bill contributed to our community in many ways. Larry and I enjoyed working with him in the early 80s, he was always a straight up guy, easy smile, fair minded, just great to work with. He will be missed.

My husband Carl worked with Bill at the steel mill and always spoke highly of him. When I met Bill I found him to be a genuine nice person. Although my late husband and I were Republicans we always had Bill put his political sign in our yard, which I’m sure made people scratch their heads had a few Republican signs and one lone Democrat sign in our yard. Your family was blessed to have Bill in it.
