It was an honor and pleasure to have known and worked with Mr. Dunn. One of the finer memories of my life was when he joined my wife and myself at our table at a work dinner party, just the 3 of us. It was a great evening enjoying his company and conversation. I too share the story where Mr. Dunn would come out to the facilities on Christmas Day every year and thank us for our hard work and dedication. I drive by "North Plant" often and always take a moment to remember what a great man Mr. Dunn was. May his memory be eternal.

I had the honor of working with Mr. Dunn from 1988 until he retired from Pinellas County.  Mr. Dunn was a man of honor.  A true southern gentlemen who was deeply respected. I'm grateful that I had the opportunity to work with such an amazing man.  I will always consider him a hero and someone that I always looked up to.  Sending love and prayers to the family. May he rest in peace.  

It was an honor to manage the William E. Dunn Water Reclamation Facility. From everything I've heard from the employees who knew him, he was a great man. He was the type of person who would bring turkey dinner to the operators working on Thanksgiving. Even though he was a great engineer, he was very humble as a leader and respected by everybody who knew him. Rest in peace, and condolences to the family.

I worked for Pinellas County Sewer Department starting in October of 1977 when Mr. Dunn was the director.  From the first time I met him you could tell that he cared deeply about his employees and the work that we did. I don’t think he ever missed a Christmas day where he drove  his red Volkswagen Beetle to all the treatment plants and brought  donuts to everyone  working.   He would walk the plant to ensure he shook everyone’s hand , thanked them for working and wished  them a Merry Christmas. He was a true southern gentleman who always treated all with respect.  The department was never quite the same after he left and we all missed him being there. God bless him and  May he Rest In Peace. 

I met mr. Dunn in 1975 and worked for him at South Cross till he retired. He was a man who treated everyone with respect and a genuine interest in every aspect of how the department and the people were doing. I remember working pump stations at all hours of the day and night and when you saw a little red Volkswagen bug coming down the road it would be him checking to see if we needed anything, he would even bring coffee and food.  He even made the sheriff and an irate resident to leave the area where we were trying to repair a pump station in the woods. And this was at 2: AM! He was a trooper and aggressive protecting us that night. Another time my partner Earl Newmann and I were coming back from an emergency repair at about  3 or 4 am goofing off on the country radio. We were acting like a couple of goofy truckers talking silly and all of a sudden mr. Dunn's voice came over the radio and with a calm voice in his southern drawl he said "ya'll boss havin trouble out theyah? ". We didn't know he kept a radio on at home to monitor "his sewer system". There was instant silence and we hurried back in and went home thinking we were both in deep trouble.  But when we came in the next day he was at our office. He had breakfast for us. He said y'all boys need ta use a little betta language on the radio now ya hear. We both said yes sir and learned our boss had a great sense of humor.  I'll miss him till I meet him in heaven once more to swap tales and laugh.

While I never met Mr. Dunn, the facility I work at is named after him. I've been told he was a kind and fair man. RIP, Mr. Dunn.

I just had my 40th Work Anniversary in May and I just mentioned Mr. Dunn to several people that also knew him.  He was a great man!  I had great respect for him as a leader and a kind soul!  With heavy heart it saddens me.   I will keep him, family and friends in my prayers.  RIP Mr. Dunn
