Little did he know his new job would last a lifetime and take some dramatic turns along the way. THE EARLY YEARS 1952 brought more surprises like Bill buying the company With the support of his wife Margie and his family, they both began a lifetime of very hard work and dedication to their customers, their employees and their families.
