Genaro Maldonado/ MSA

Post by Johnny Cox »

My friend and former co-worker Genaro Maldonado passed yesterday from covid19. Genaro was an employee at MSA/Micro Space Instruments for 26 years. He did many jobs there including machining parts but is most noted for his expert polishing of all the parts on MSA steels. He was a wonderful man that loved his family, his friends, his work and the United States. He will be missed. Prayers for his family and friends and for the MSA family.

Sorry for the loss of your friend Johnny. I remember you speaking of him several times. He was indeed a fine craftsman. I have tried to employ some of his work methods that you told me about. RIP sir.
