IN MEMORY OF 

Thomas J. Clune
Senior Vice President / Chief Engineer
February 11, 1951 - April 21, 2001

ERB - Ensign is sad to announce the passing of Thomas J. Clune. Tom had been fighting health issues over the past year, but his untimely passing was still unexpected to his family, friends and colleagues.

An Architectural graduate of the University of New Mexico, Tom began his professional career with XEROX. He moved on to become Chief Engineer of Universal Oven for 15 years and was then recruited by Ensign Ribbon Burner. Within a few years Tom became Sr. Vice President.

He holds several patents for applications utilized by XEROX and the Combustion Technology Industry. In both his personal and professional life, Tom was always there, willing and able to help anyone with any problem or project that needed to be solved. Everyone who has had the opportunity to meet him will miss his insightful ideas, depth of knowledge, warmth of spirit and unselfish help.

All our love Tommy, we will always miss you.
