CEO Tom Hill had a son in line for succession, but he left Kimray years ago. If no heirs remain working in the business, one wonders what Hill's succession plans are, including seeking a buyer.

He and Tom ran the company together for several years after Tom II stepped down as CEO, but he eventually left and now owns MAR-K Manufacturing in OKC.

I recall reading in the Oklahoman a few years ago that one of the brothers had left on good terms, but is was due to differing Christian affiliations. One of them (I'm guessing David, since I remember he did buy the pick-up truck parts business MAR-K) had moved to the Catholic church, the rest of the family has been evangelical, and operated Kimray with an evangelical focus.
