Bill Neill, a 40-year employee of
Ford’s Sterling Hts., MI axle plant, was killed last Thursday on the job when a piece of heavy equipment fell on
him. It appears that Neill’s death was an accident, and it is the first fatality the plant has ever experienced.
Neill, a millwright at the plant, is described by many coworkers as “very smart and
intelligent,” “a real professional,” and “a good worker”. Friends say that Neill was
looking into retirement the last few months and had begun taking preparatory classes offered by the plant.
Bill Neill is survived by his wife and daughter.
