Bill was not only a salesman but a friend. He would come into my office do his business then sit down and talk for ever. I can not believe it's been 11 years. RIP my friend.

What a person. Bill would come down to Westchester County to sell his products. We would sit and talk for hours. Great person, great friend. He will be missed dearly. Loved his Christmas cookies. RIP Bill.

Our thoughts and deepest sympathies are with the family of Bill Ferro at this very sad time. We had the honor of knowing Bill since 1993 as our customer at Limpia Packaging and after we sold the business, as a customer of Creative Chemicals. We always enjoyed Bill's can-do attitude and willingness to take on new challenges.
