RIP Bill “Pop-Tart” Post
RIP Bill “Pop-Tart” Post
I was sorry to hear about the passing of former Glen Lake resident Bill Post. I knew Bill quite well; his house was very near the Glen Lake Dairy Bar. He stopped in often and started a once-a-week morning prayer meeting, a great guy, and the inventor of the Pop-Tarts (which we didn’t serve). Even his license plate was ”Pop-Tart”. Bill was a real success story, he started with the company as a kid washing trucks and by the time he retired, left the company as a Vice President. I always bugged Bill about wanting to buy his Convertible Pick Up, He would never sell. 02/28/2024 04:44 PM
