On December 10, 2018 we lost an incredible leader, colleague and friend. Our President & CEO Bill Carteaux passed away due to complications from acute myeloid leukemia (AML), the disease he had been fighting with determination and courage.
Bill was more than just an inspiring, larger-than-life leader for our industry. Bill was a dear friend to each of us who were lucky to have known him.
Tributes to Bill have poured in from around the world and from every corner of the plastics industry:
PLASTICS has set up an email account to collect tributes, memories, stories and photos of Bill from those that knew him. Share your story by emailing rememberingbill@plasticsindustry.org.
Over the last few years, Bill had taken on the mission of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society as his own—and his legacy continues to shine through the InvinciBill fundraiser.
