Bill Erickson, a member of International Raw Materials Ltd.’s (IRM) North American Fertilizer Sales team, passed away on May 17 after a very brief respiratory illness. Erickson was based in IRM’s Spokane, Wash., office, and was highly respected by his colleagues and customers in California and the Pacific Northwest.
IRM described him as a “knowledgeable agronomist and sales professional,” who was instrumental in growing the company’s business on the U.S. West Coast. Erickson also served on the board and on various committees of the Western Plant Health Association (WPHA). He is survived by his wife, Lynn, and their four adult children.
