Aunt Verna, Clark and Family-
Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.
March 25, 2010
Rol will be missed in the Manufacturing and engineering community of the San Fernendo Valley, as well as the greater Southern California area. He single handedly provided for most of the continuing education for manufacturing engineers in the 1980's and '90's.
The world is a smaller place without Rol Behnke in it. All our best wishes and condolences to Verna, and the rest of his family.
R. Freeman Straub, Director, The Engineers Council
