I worked for Bill at Overwraps two times. When I left the first time to move to Kansas he made a call to the owner of another printing company on my behalf. I had an offer of employment two days later. When I returned to Dallas he created a position in order to hire me. I still use the lessons I learned from Bill in my current career, and can’t put into words how much he meant to my wife Dianne and I. He was truly a special individual, and a leader in every aspect. I will cherish the memories of the times I spent with Bill at work, and for the last 20 years as spoke multiple times per year, and visited whenever I made it to Dallas. You will be missed by many. Our condolences to the Blake family, you are in our prayers

Thank you Bill for the cherished memories we made in our old Fords. The Bridges of Madison County, the Surf Ballroom, The Little Brown Church, the tour you gave of Depauw University, Dearborn Early Fords Tour, Roswell flash flood, Minnesota River Boat Tour, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, the storm in Wichita, Kansas, and you coming to the rescue when my 1936 Ford Pickup broke an axle. Cherished memories...... R.I.P. My Friend.
