It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of one of our most respected and loved employees. Bill "Popper" Lehmann began his sales career at Pacemaker Steel and Piping Company and Charles Millar in 1954. He dedicated the next 68 years to the company he loved, and he established long-lasting friendships with employees and customers alike.

Bill was a true gentleman and always had a smile on his face and a kind word. He truly was one of a kind and the loss we all feel is immense.

For Bill, there was no greater joy than to see his customers' businesses grow through generations of families. He was still doing what he does best – calling on his customers – right up until a few days before he passed away.

Bill will be missed by his immense family at home, his family at Pacemaker and his family of customers.
