Not sure what to say?

I worked at GC Services from 1977 through 1988 in the law department. I really admired Mr. Inglehart. To share a memory, I once was allowed to drive his Mercedes somewhere ... can't remember where! ... but he always treated me with respect. I just learned of his passing and am sorry that I didn't know earlier. God bless his family.

Was a true gentleman and outstanding President he was a great mentor to me.

For many years Jerry and I spent a couple of winter months in Scottsdale near Bill. Bill loved the Sonora desert and the three of us walked many a canyon and hilltop trails. A highlight was to see the blooming of the spring flowers. I also fondly remember the many natural and historical treasures we explored together. We ambled up to Pueblos, along old Indian Trails as well as Stagecoach Trails. We toured Canyon de Chelley, Karchner Caverns, Sedona and the Biosphere near Tucson. We even drove...

My most memorable memory was riding in a golf cart with Mr. Inglehart and Tamra going to see his new home in Desert HIghland. It was on a golf course and golf balls were coming at us from all sides. He was not phased. I know he will truly be missed by his family and friends, with love, Julie (houston, tx.)

I WAS HONORED TO KNOW BILL, HE HIRED ME AT GC SERVICES AND MENTORED ME THROUGH MY CAREER, HE WAS A GOOD MAN AND ONE OF THE FAIREST MEN I EVER MET.... I HAVE OFTEN THOUGHT ABOUT HIM OVER THE YEARS....MY CONDOLENCE TO THE ENTIRE FAMILY.

Bill was truly a great man and will be greatly missed. I learned a lot from him which helped me tremendously in both my professional career as well as my personal life. He helped countless number of people! He always was a competitor and handled himself with dignity and Grace. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

You were such a good man, Bill. Kind, generous, brilliant, selfless, and loving. I will miss your overly-descriptive stories, witty humor, and optimism even when all of the chips were against you. Our whole family will truly miss you...
