William B. Greene
1886 - 1982

William played a major role in obtaining acceptance among contractors and specifying agencies for the inventive products of his partner, Harry Barber. He was responsible for the organizational, sales and promotional success of the Barber-Greene Company, which launched many industry firsts, including the first practical asphalt paver. He was as active a leader in national and international industry associations as he was in his Illinois community of Aurora. He continued in active management and industry involvement until 1966, when he retired as chairman of the board.
