I’ve known Bill and Joanne since the beginning days with Partnership for Kids. Bill loved cheering on the kids when they strived for their goals. In 2019, I started working in Production Ops and Bill was always there to explain the work in the plant. He loved his family and talked about them often. So sorry for your loss, but I know he’ll be watching over you as he enjoys his new wings. Remember the best memories!

Heartfelt condolences to the Poppleton family. I was one of the old gym guys. If I had to describe Bill to someone, the first thing that comes to mind is a Proud Dad. Bill, you will be missed Brother.
My heart breaks for you all. Bill was a good soul. Sending love and prayers.
I don’t know if I’ve ever met anyone who was more proud of his family. That’s the best thing I think you can say about a person. My thoughts are with family and friends in this difficult time.
I’ve known Bill since high school, playing music in his parents basement. I’m just know hearing of this and am crushed. My sincere condolences to his family. He was a great man.
