It was always a lot of fun to have the Gruidl family visit us on the farm when we were youngsters.We knew him as "Billy" and we did a lot of crazy things when he came out. I think he enjoyed the rural atmosphere and the fun things that a farm offered. I've many times thought about those times and I'll miss Billy.

I worked with Bill at McQuay from 1975 thru 1983.....I will always remember his special sense of humor and smile! McQuay was a better place with Bill there. My condolences to all of Bill's extended family. May he rest in peace.

Bill was a constant source of fun and positive thoughts. He made the sun shine on a cloudy day. The Corporate headquarters would have been a dull place without his cute bits of wisdom. May he be remembered that way.

I worked with Bill for a number of years at McQuay. I will always remember his friendly and outgoing demeanor.
God bless!
