Words can’t describe how I felt when I found out you had passed, 3 1/2 months ago and I had no idea. Bill where do I start? You were a great man who touched my life in so many ways. Blood didn’t matter, you took me in as your granddaughter and treated me as such. The way you loved my grandmother taught me about love and respect, and how a woman should be treated. You were kind, smart, and so funny. The world just won’t be the same. Thank you for all you’ve done for me. Until we meet again❤️

We will miss you Bill. 
We have enjoyed doing business with you over the years. You were always a trustworthy and friendly partner. You brought great passion to our industry. 
And you were way too young to pass away.
We express our deepest condolences to your family and the Olympus team and will keep you in our thoughts and prayers.
Sincerely, Dan


Bill was great in all that he did, he will be sorely missed.

Bill, 

I learned something from you every time we spoke. You never were to busy for a call or just to chat about business or life in general. I'll miss you dearly,, and I have to say the Automotive Aftermarket Community will miss you deeply! You will always be the GOAT (Greatest Of All Time) and you will never be forgotten! Till we meet again my friend Gods Speed.

To his family, my sincere condolences, I send prayers for peace and comfort. 

Bill was one of the classiest guys in the industry. He was professional, fair, smart and always willing to give me good advice.   I wish all buyers and managers aspired to his management style.  The world would be a much better place and doing business would be exponentially more pleasant while at the same time just as efficient.  Bill believed you did not have to miss treat someone in order to get the best deal, on the contrary.  I am proud of the fact that I was able to call him a friend.  I will miss his pleasant demeanor always.

Bill I am certain where you are now and I hope to join you some day.

Steve


All of us at Karlyn want to express our condolences to the entire Guinard and Olympus family.  Bill was wonderful to work with and I will always be grateful for his cheerful support and guidance.

With our deepest sympathy


I am a better person because my life path crossed with Bill’s.  During the part of our life journey where we crossed paths, there were points in time where Bill was a customer, then a partner when we merged with Olympus.  But always Bill was my mentor, patiently teaching me and I always came away from our conversations knowing more than when it started.  What a truly amazing person.  God Bless, and I know we’ll reunite in the afterlife my dear friend.

Bill was one of the best guys I have had the pleasure to do business with since the beginning of his long and successful tenure with Olympus.  But more than that we became friends and he in many ways was a valuable resource of information, a trusted sounding board for ideas and above all he was honest.  He will be missed.  Gob bless you buddy. Rest in peace.

To Judy, Frances and all,

Bill was my dear friend in the truest sense if the word but our relationship went far beyond that.   For more than 30 years, Bill was my right hand man, business partner, confidant, counsel, therapist, visionary and and an invaluable resource in the building of our amazing company.   There was never a cross word between us.  He was dedicated, loyal, tireless and brilliant. The smartest guy I ever met in our industry, he brought an array of impressive traits and characteristics that helped to form and enabled Olympus to flourish into one of the very best automotive companies in the country.
 
As committed as he was to our business, we always took a distant second place to his wife Judy, who was his inspiration, motivation and best friend.  We started nearly every day with a meeting in my office and I always knew that no matter what, Judy was his top priority and rightfully so.

Perhaps the very best blessing was our ability with each other, to really enjoy our 30 plus year journey.  We held each other up during difficult times and celebrated the many great experiences with ardent joy.  I think we both knew that we had an incomparably great way of making a living especially with the many wonderful people with whom we had the privilege of working.  We were a loving family in the way all hope to be.   

My own life has been blessed beyond measure to a large degree because of my friendship and partnership with Bill.  Life just won't be the same without him.  But I find great solace in the fact that he now resides with his folks and mine, patiently waiting for us all to rejoin him.  We will see him again!

God Bless,
Mike Brown
   
           
 

Working for Bosch and having a 30 plus year relationship with someone as a supplier to them for your entire career is rare. Dinners in Vegas, golf, and eventually getting down to business in his office after fixing the worlds problems  are tough memories now. I will always remember these great times with Bill. God Bless. 

Bill was truly one of the good guys. Very generous in offering his time and willing to share his knowledge, of which he had an over abundance.  A “Lifetime Achiever” in every sense of the words.  
He will sorely be missed

One of the finest gentlemen I had the pleasure to work with.   He will always stand tall in my book.   

My deepest condolences to the entire family on behalf of myself and everyone in the Aisin family.

Judy,

What more can I say about Bill? A great mentor and friend. Always took the time to listen and to offer advice. Loved his weather reports, Redskins news, and political comments. What was never a doubt however, was his love for you Judy. I could tell every time he talked to you, there was nothing more important to him than you. He will be missed. 

With Love, 
Jim
