I was a young 19 yr. old kid when I started working for Standard Oil/Amoco and was fortunate to work for Mr. Stocker in Overland Park, Ks. He was a man ahead of his time. He had all of the qualities one needed to work in HR. I am shocked and saddened to hear of his passing. Bev, my deepest sympathies to you and your family.

I had the pleasure to work with Bill while with Amoco Oil Co. in Kansas City, Mo. Bill was a caring and knowledgable friend to many people, and will be dearly missed.
