Esslinger Engineering
« 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...

Brad- so sorry to hear of this, I know you were real close to the family- it must have hit hard for you...

I jumped in late on this thread- Getting stood back up after my trip, Can the PCCA send flowers?
