My deepest sympathies to you and your family on your fathers passing

Michael H Sommer

So sorry to hear about your dad. My condolences to you and your family. I will say an extra prayer at yizkor this year for him.

Ken, Theda and I send our deepest sympathies to you, your mother and the rest of your family.  Your father's history in the speaker industry speaks for itself.  What may not be as well known was the true gentleman Bill was.  I've never had a greater pleasure than working with and for your father and representing your fine products. Our prayers go out to the entire Phase Technology family.

Ken and family,
All of us in the speaker industry are saddened by the news of Bill's passing. He was such an important contributor to our industry. I did not know him well but he was always friendly even to competitors like me. God bless him.

Ken,

Very sorry to hear about the passing of your dad. I had the pleasure of meeting him for the first time at United Speakers in 1979. I can still recall how passionate your dad was about speaker design. The audio community has lost a true industry pioneer.

Ken and Joan, Bobby and I are very sorry to hear about Bill.  We are praying for and thinking about you all.  We are sad for Evan and Katy losing their grampa.  Please give Sonny our best. Ken we know you made your dad proud.  Sorry for the loss of your father.  
We love you guys!!!

Bobby & Sue

May your memories of the good times, as  well as the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

Bill was a true innovator in the world of Audio. Such a wealth of information a true pioneer in the world of loudspeakers.
God Bless

Ken, 

Music is one common bond among all people on Earth.  Your father helped make the soundtrack of life possible.  We are forever grateful for that and for you carrying on his legacy.  Our deepest sympathies to you and your family.

We are all the beneficiaries of Bills engineering excellence. He made an admired and honest product in a time where exaggeration and hype often overshadowed the workmanship of an innovator and craftsman. We are poorer for his passing and richer for his life.

It's with a very heavy heart that we send our condolences on Bill's passing.. Many years ago when we first started in this business, Bill and Phase Technology were the first folks to welcome us with open arms into the custom audio industry. He truly treated us like one of the family. We were fortunate to have many interesting conversations on audio theory with him - he was indeed a legend and a visionary.. We are honored to have known him.  Our sympathies to Ken and the entire family.  Ivy & Lance, Wired Island.

Ken, 
My thoughts and prays go out to you and your family. I  enjoyed spending time with him. He will be missed.

Sonny, we are so sorry to hear of your loss. We know you were a devoted wife, and will miss Bill terribly. Our hearts go out to you. Unfortunately, we wil not be able to attend the funeral service, but will be thinking of you and your family.

Dear Ken and family, On behalf of the Behrens Audio-Video family and the Cooper for Stereo family, I would like to extend our condolences on the passing of your father. He was always such a pleasure to talk with about anything from HiFi to wine, and so willing to talk, too! I will miss his smiling face and calm demeanor. He certainly passed along those characteristics to you. Bill is in our prayers.

Ken and family... we are sad to hear of your father's passing.  A great contributor to our industry and such an important part of Audio Craft's business history for so many years... Bill was a master of his craft.

Ken, It is with a heavy heart I hear of your father's passing.  Just remember two things

He is in a much better place now

He helped so many people share in the magical beauty of music it is hard to fathom.

I'm going home and firing up my PC 1000's tonight and think about all the fun we had together with you and your Dad!  

Let's all raise a glass and toast a great guy, then play some music!!

Great Men and great creator...!!!Sorry to hear of Bill's passing. We celebrate an innovator's live. God bless him,and his Family. Luis Arrieta & Family.

My sincere conolences to the entire Hecht family. I pray that God eases the pain of your loss.

Ken and the Hecht family,

Our sincere condolences on the passing of a wonderful man and true legend in our industry. I will never forget listening to music with him in his residence back in the late 80s when Phase Tech honored the top sales people in the country by having us visit the factory. Bill was a truly gifted man and will be greatly missed by all who new him.

Ken and Family - I am sad to hear of your Dad's passing.   May the joyous life memories created by such a wonderful man, sustain you and your family through this difficult time.

Condolences to the Hecht family. To hear of Mr. Hecht's passing saddens us greatly here at Maverick Integration. Without his lifelong commitment and passion for audio, our company might not exist today.

Ken, we just heard, we are so sorry. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

I had the pleasure of meeting Bill Hecht early in my career in the consumer electronics industry back in the 1980's. Not only was he an excellent engineer but he was a true gentleman who changed the way high quality loudspeakers were made. His easy going attitude was always refreshing when I saw him at trade shows over the years. I will always have fond memories of his smiling face and the excellent music demos in the Phase Tech room at the shows. I wish the best for his family during this difficult time. God rest your soul Bill. You were a true legend in the stereo business.

Ken and Family,
It is  not often that we get to meet people like Bill.He was a visionary. He will be missed. Love to your family. You will be in my prayers.

Ken and the Hecht family,
My condolences on the passing of your Dad. He was always a pleasure to speak with about the industry and his experiences. God bless you and you family. Your Dad will be in our prayers. Joe Perfito and all of us at Tributaries.

Bill was a pioneer and innovator in the consumer electronics industry. He was unique as he understood the complexity of engineering but also knew how to deliver what the consumer wanted. He was a class act and will be missed.

I was sorry to hear of Bill's passing.  In the late 70's and early 80's we had a lot of fun together designing speakers and selling them nationally through JC Penny's.  Bill was a pioneer in his field and he will be missed.
