Third-generation Napa Valley native William Ross “Bill” Berglund WG55 died peacefully at home on November 24, 2016, after a long struggle with Alzheimer’s disease. He was 86 years old. Bill grew up on a farm located on the corner of Pine and Seminary streets in what is now downtown Napa, and his love for both the outdoors and business started early. He bought his first car with money he earned by raising chickens and selling their eggs. He spent his high-school years at the Thacher School in Ojai, California, graduating in 1949 with a passion for camping and horseback riding. Bill then received his B.A. from Stanford University in 1953 and an MBA from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania in 1955.
