Not sure what to say?

Dear Dr Scharle, I am so sorry for your loss. Your extraordinary humanity, compassion and dedication to others comes from a true legacy of goodness and care. Deep condolences.

Few are as accomplished, personally and professionally, yet remain an everyday colleague as Bill...accessible when needed, instructive as required, supportive but challenging all are the characteristics that define him...he is missed already...best regards to his friends and family.

I knew Bill my entire career at Air Products and I enjoyed every moment with him. He was a true gentleman and had the highest ethics. His contributions to the company are long lasting. I also had the pleasure of serving with Bill on the De Sales President's Council along with his life long friend Carl Frensky. I know Bill and Bunny are now sharing eternal peace in Heaven with Carl and Peggy. To Bill's family all I can say is how fortunate you are to have had Bill. I know you will have good...

Heartfelt Condolences Arrangement- BASKET INCLUDED

My deepest sympathies to the families of Bill and his wife. While considering a career change from Air Products during the 1960's, I met with Bill to discuss my career ideas and he convinced me to take a management position that was offered within Air Products. I accepted and retired after 35 years with the company. A belated "THANKS" to Bill for his professional advice! God bless!

I wanted to offer my condolences to the family. My father considered Bill his best customer and I know they went back many years. We would often bump into Bill and Bunny at Two Guys on a Saturday night. When I was starting out my career in chemistry, Bill helped me get a job at APCI where I spent 30 years with another 10 at Intertek. I am sorry for your loss.

Bill Scharle was my early mentor at Air Products; his invisible hand guiding me until his retirement. He always made time for everyone, it mattered not whether you were an entry level plant operator or a general manager. After his retirement from Air Products, he continued to live his life in service to his community for many decades. What an exemplary life! RIP Mr. Scharle.

I´ve knew Bunny and Bill for many years. I also served on many boards with Bill-we were both very active at Sacred Heart Hospital. Bill was a tremendous asset in keeping the hospital afloat during some very difficult times. He was such a great leader in our community!
