Bill was the best person and boss I ever had the pleasure working for. He was always there to help you succeed in your job. I remember all the good times we had at our birthdays and our Christmas parties at Liquid. You will truly be missed, you will always remain in our hearts and thoughts. My deepest condolences to Linda, Billy and Megan.

I was saddened to hear of Bill's passing. Bill was a good friend and mentor. I had the privilege of working with him as one of his regional managers. Even in difficult times (and their a few!!) he always found a path for me to follow that helped me avoid issues. Many stories, many laughs, many poitive moments, he will be missed.

Its been 45 years since I last saw you. Moved from the home town years ago. Still fond memories of grade school days. Rest in Peace.

When I started with PHS Bill promised me he would help guide my career to get me back to Kansas. My Dad was sick and I honestly took the job in Chicago to eventually move back to Kansas to be with my elderly parents. When the opportunity came about, Bill called me in the office and said "If I give you this opportunity and you fail, there are no guarantees", we smiled at each other and I said "No,problem. God has NOT bought me this far to leave me". Bill laughed and said "Good Luck, however, based on what you said, you may not need it". I will forever be grateful to Bill for the opportunity to move back home and spend 2 years with my Dad before he died of cancer. Bill was a positive, fun loving guy and he will be missed. Maybe he is in Heaven with my Dad laughing at the crossroads that life have bought them with me in the middle, in Kansas, remembering them both in Love.

Bill was a shrewd business man and a terrific mentor. He was always willing to help me look at business problems from different perspectives especially during our years at Liquid Carbonic. Bill had an interesting sense of humor. One day he called me into his office where he promply announced "I hate you". Somewhat shocked I asked what did I do now? He had been looking at old group photos and newer ones where we both appeared. Lets just say my physical features had changed far less than his over the 20 years. We both had a great laugh and now had an ongoing inside joke. If he only figured out how to golf he would have been perfect! My condolences to his family, I know he will be missed. Jeff Wallace
