February 1, 1955 – January 17, 2023
William Henry “Bill” Glardon, of Santa Fe, Texas, went to be with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ on January 17, 2023. He was 67.
Bill was born to Bernard and Mary Glardon on February 1, 1955, in North Dakota. Bill spent his childhood working on his family’s dairy farm and later moved to Texas with his family in 1969. In February 1973, he married LuAnne Lee. Bill entered the workforce early as a young husband and father.
In 1979, Bill joined the Amoco family where he worked until he retired in 2006. During his time at Amoco, he began as a pipefitter and over the years, earned his way to becoming an SAP coordinator who traveled, worked, and trained internationally. After retiring from his successful career at Ineos, Bill enjoyed spending time in his shop focused on his various hobbies. Bill was a brilliant and innovative man that enjoyed his wide collection of tools and sharing his wisdom, skills, and knowledge with those who were eager to learn. Knowledge was important to him, and he was a natural teacher. Whether it be carpentry, auto mechanics, welding, engineering, or farming – Bill knew a lot about everything, and if he did not know it, he would learn it. Bill was a true outdoorsman and loved his dogs. He loved to spend his time outdoors fishing, hunting, gardening, farming, watching sports like softball and baseball, car racing, or doing anything that allowed him to work with his hands with his faithful friends by his side.
Bill is survived by his wife, LuAnne Glardon, and two daughters, Dr. Laura Glardon and Phibi Vassallo. He is also survived by his three beloved grandchildren who knew him lovingly as “Bobby.” Michael, Brandon, and Allison Vassallo.
Bill was loved and respected dearly by his family. He will be forever missed, but his legacy will always live on.
Bill’s family will host a memorial service in honor of his life on Friday, January 20, 2023, at 2:00 p.m. at First Methodist Church in Alvin, Texas.

Dearest LuAnne and family,
We were sorry to hear of Bill’s passing. I remember when y’all were both so young, and beginning your journey as husband and wife. When both of your beautiful girls were born, and the loving family you both shared with your girls, with many blessed years together.
Your all in our thoughts and prayers…

LuAnne – I am sorry to hear of Bill's passing. He was such a kind heart, and very smart. Everyone I mentioned of his passing here at Ineos had nothing but good to say, and remembered him well. They all send prayers for his family. May God keep you all wrapped tightly during this painful time of your life.
Always in my prayers

Dear LuAnne, Laura, Phoebe
Bill was truly the salt of the earth. Bill would never think twice about giving you the shirt off his back and helping anyone in need. Our times fishing and hunting and the life lessons he taught will never be forgotten. The world needs more people like Bill. Our thoughts and prayers are with ya'll.
Dearest LuAnne & Family,
I worked with Bill at Amoco in Texas City.
We lived just down the street from Ms. Lee for many years. Prayers, blessings & our thoughts with you & your Family.
Carla, Donna & William
