William Niehous

I went to high school with his three son and graduated with his son Mark at the Colegio Internacional de Caracas on June 11 1976. My father also knew William Niehous. They had many dinners together.

the passage of life makes us learn many things thanks for many things

I am a Venezuelan man that latter ended up moving to the USA due to the increased political unrest in my country. I grew up remembering this fabulous and great epic story of his kidnap. I am glad he finished his life where he had to and God granted him a long life afterwards. May God bless you Niehous family.

A great many of us are thinking of Bill and Donna and the Niehous family. I was lucky to have enjoyed his friendship, his warm smile, and his kind words. My life has been greatly enriched as a result. Rick Martin

So, you could say, in a small way, my path crossed with Mr. Niehaus....and as an adult as I sorted out that difficult time of worry for my father, I wondered about Mr. Niehaus and what a person does with his life after such adversity. I am touched to read the obituary and amazing...

My condolences to family. Bill was instrumental in helping me with my 30+ years at OI. RIP kind sir!

So much good crammed into one life! I regret not knowing Bill although he was well represented by Mom and Pop Niehous and my dear friend, his sister, Judy. My condolences to all who knew this impressive man! Merry Valentin

Our condolences to Donna and the family. Bill and my life were connected during our careers with O-I in significant ways. He is part of my life story since his experiences affected my and my family's lives. I think of him often and always remember him as a good man.
