Bill and I joined Shell at around the same time 50 years ago. He was training for his 1st sales position later determined to be Newarkat Shell's Union Labs. I was a hired as a technical service chemist. Later we worked together in the Solvents BC. Our careers crossed paths several times more at Shell. He was a gentleman. Our sincerest sympathy to Ronnie and the Stimson family on Bill's passing. He suffered through poor health the past several years. Now, he's at peace. Vic and Camille Figurelli

Our sympathies go out to Ronnie and the Stimson family. Bill was my first supervisor in Shell when I went to Head Office and gave me great counsel. We will always remember the trips we made with him and Ronnie over the past few years. May he rest in peace.

Our sincerest condolences to Ronnie and all of Bill's extended family. I think it is safe to say Shell Chemical was like a family to so many of us for so long with Bill as our patriarch. He will be missed. May God bless you all in this difficult period.

Bill and I had many opportunities to share a number of marketing jobs with Shell over the years. He was a great customer interface guy and was well liked in the business. He was just as competitive on the golf course and we enjoyed the game together. Our prayers go out to Ronnie and the entire family. God bless him. He was the best.
