Remembering J.R. “Bob” Stillinger

The faculty, staff and students at CMEC would like to remember John Robert “Bob” Stillinger as a supporter and friend of the department.

Dr. Stillinger was one of the industry leaders who provided great support during the initial years of the International Wood Composite Symposium series — and expanding the symposium from strictly particleboard for the US and Canada to an International Symposium covering particleboard, MDF, and a multitude of new composite materials products.
