Title: Esslinger Engineering
Post by: turbopinto72 on August 09, 2013, 03:42:53 PM

Just want to inform the group that the Patriarch of Esslinger Engineering, Dwaine Esslinger Died this week. Some of you who know about Esslinger Engineering and Dan Esslinger. Dwaine had ALS and was not doing well. But he celebrated his 55th wedding anniversary with his wife, kissed her goodnight and never woke up.
RIP Dwaine, you are with good company now...
