I remember the Blalock's from my years at E.J. Muffley - Kimberly was in my class and I can still see her sweet freckled face and piggytales. Sending my love to all of you.
I worked for Bill at Kopetz Manufacturing. I was the first woman welder he hired and I thank him for giving me a chance. He was also so caring and a great man. I looked up to him. He was proud of Kopetz and the family he had there. We were all heart broken when he decided to sell Kopetz. He will be missed
I met Bill when he bought Kopetz, I ended up working for him for close to 20 years. He will be sadly missed. As you travel through this thing called life you meet very few people that will stand out in your life forever. Bill is one of them, I never worked for a better man or a person that I respect more. I am very sorry for your loss and will keep y’all in my thoughts.
He was one of my all time favorites. He was one the few friends of my Dads who continued to visit him when Daddy’s Alzheimer’s was at its worst. That takes a special person. I’ll never forget his friendship and kindness. Love to you all.
