LP Gas Hall of Fame Inductee – Class of 2012
As president, Wallace directed the California-based company’s growth to become the largest U.S. propane marketer in the 1980s.
Known as a business innovator, he established the industry’s first foreign trading office in London to secure propane suppliers to the United States. His work with truck manufacturer Casey Jarvis led to the development of the current bobtail design.
He also established a company safety and training program that eventually became the Gas Check program, which was used throughout the industry through NPGA.
Wallace retired in 1984.
