BERENBAUM, Dr. Morris, died October 11, 2006.
With sadness, the H/AREA Board of Directors regrets to advise that Dr. Morris Berenbaum passed away, October 11, 2006. Morris was predeceased by his wife Adrienne. Following his retirement from AlliedSignal, Dr. Berenbaum was instrumental in founding the Honeywell/AlliedSignal Retired Employees' Association and launching it into more than a decade of service to his fellow retirees. He served as President for seven of those years until he stepped down in 2004, due to declining health, and relocated to Illinois where he lived on campus near his daughter, a Professor, at the University of Illinois. Prior to his retirement from AlliedSignal, Morris was well known by the employees of Specialty Chemicals Division where he served as VP of R&D. Morris was a brilliant and creative scientist, an articulate speaker and known for his sense of humor. He received many honors and served on many boards during his lifetime, but to the H/AREA Board of Directors he was a visionary leader and friend to us all. We would like to take this opportunity to recognize his active role and contributions working with us and for us.

GOLLOMP, Bernard, died 2009.
The H/AREA Board of Directors has sadly learned of the death, late in 2009, of one of the Association's "Founding Fathers", Bernie Gollomp. Bernie was not only a founder of our association, he was also a recruiter of talent for staffing the Board of Directors to ensure the association's success. Bernie will be sorely missed.

His father-in-law, two brothers-in-law, a niece, and son Charles, Jr. all worked at Bendix Eatontown at one time or another. His Father-in-law Felix was a vacuum tube engineer and tool and die maker. Charles Sr. developed a lot of the specialized tooling for the ruggedized Bendix Red Bank military tubes in the 1950’s. Charles, Jr. wrote a book in 2007 about the History of the Bendix Red Bank Tubes. When Bendix sold off the tube division in 1962 Charles Sr. became a Lead man in the Bendix tool department. In his last six years at Bendix he was part of the Production Engineering department, developing production procedures and instructions. He retired from Bendix in 1983. Charles and his wife Betty moved to Spring, TX in 2008. Charles was a quiet man with a wonderful sense of humor, and will be greatly missed by all whose lives he touched.

Wayne, a seasoned recuiter for Bendix Teterboro, shared his experience and provided me with valuable tips on college recuiting. Our paths crossed numerous times in our respective careers, and when I retired and joined H/AREA, I was delighted to meet Wayne again, and to serve with him on the H/AREA Board of Directors.
