LP Gas Hall of Fame Inductee – Class of 2013
The former president and CEO of the nation’s largest propane retail operation was nominated for the hall of fame in 2011 and 2012.
He was selected for induction in the same year as his retirement and one year after winning the National Propane Gas Association’s (NPGA) Distinguished Service Award. Bissell said goodbye to AmeriGas in March after leading the company since 2000 and having spent more than 20 years there.
He closed his career after helping to maneuver AmeriGas through its blockbuster, $2.9 billion acquisition of Heritage Propane. As NPGA chairman from 2002-03, Bissell helped the association refine its role and become a more effective advocate for the industry.
He has been a trusted, ethical leader for his company and the propane industry, rallying others to volunteer their time.
