I worked under Bill at Galland Henning in the 1970's and 80's until he moved on to Miller Compressing at which I then also worked with him on projects. He was a great mentor to me, always looking to improve my skills. It was because of Bill's teachings I was able to take over his position as Chief Engineer. My condolences to all his family.

I truly enjoyed getting to know Mr. Dreher every 4th of July at Larry's house. He was a true patriot and our thoughts and prayers go out to the Dreher family for their loss.
