Those in industry throughout the Ohio Valley lost a dear friend and colleague when Noel Henderson passed away Dec. 22, 2020, four days after his 73rd birthday. Noel had spent nearly 50 years in the valves and controls business. While shrewd and aggressive, Noel was also a gentleman and an asset for his wealth of application knowledge and experience.
Noel was a Vietnam veteran and, in his early years, worked in the valve business at Ford Motor Company in Dearborn, Michigan and at the H.O Trerice Company. His last job there — as division manager — and his later roles centered on distributor development.
