Prolific industrial engineer and teacher Bill Bate died Aug. 23, 1997, leaving wife Donnabel, children Laurel, Sue, Billy, John, and Steve (Sally died), stepchildren David and Michael, 17 grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren.
Bill prepared at Morton [Ind.] H.S. and at Princeton was in the University Choir and engaged in other campus activities. In senior year he was a hero, climbing through a hall window in Patton to arouse occupants during a heavy smoke fire probably caused by a smoldering cigarette. Escaping from the floor above were Jim Sincell, Bill Soverel, and Brons Tweedy. Hank Moses '38 had stopped to retrieve some lecture notes and singed his hair.
Bill first worked as assistant to the comptroller of Milprint, Inc., in Milwaukee, and later, as manager of the accounting department, engineered a reorganization with Western Condensing Co. He became director of research and planning with Elder & Johnston Co. in Dayton, Ohio, where he was a consultant to the president and secretary. Then he went with the Eavey Co. in Xenia, Ohio.
