It is with deep sorrow that Chestnut Hill Farms announces the passing of Bill Sheridan, a valued member of its advisory board, who passed away on May 2.

Sheridan was much more than a dedicated leader in the produce industry — he was a trusted mentor, adviser and friend to many. His career, which spanned over 40 years, had an indelible impact on the banana and pineapple industries, according to a news release.

Sheridan’s work with Chestnut Hill Farms, as well as his tenure with Chiquita, Del Monte, Banacol Marketing and One Banana, helped shape partnerships and improve the way the industry connects with customers and suppliers across the globe, the release said.

“Bill’s passion, expertise and unwavering commitment to his work were unmatched,” said Trond S. Jensen, CEO of Chestnut Hill Farms. “He was a pillar of the produce industry, and his presence will be deeply missed by all of us who had the honor to know and work with him.”

Throughout his career, Sheridan was known for his integrity, tireless work ethic and his dedication to the people and businesses he served. His contributions have left a lasting impact on the industry, and his absence will be felt profoundly by his colleagues, friends and all who were fortunate enough to work with him, the release said.

Chestnut Hill Farms extends its heartfelt condolences to Sheridan’s family, friends and all those who mourn his passing.
