My condolences to the family of Bill McCartt. Bill gave me a start in life by hiring me at Pharmaseal as a young supervisor trainee. He was a great person and I feel he helped me jump start my career in management. I always admired him for his way of managing. I am sorry for your loss, he was a great person.
