Tubelite Inc. sadly shares the news that industry leader Tom Minnon (63) passed away on Fri., May 15. His wife, Hope, and their family members request condolences to be directed to Peabody Funeral Home, 15 Birch St., Derry, NH 03038.

Along with delivering dozens of educational presentations each year, Minnon also authored industry articles and earned many professional accreditations including LEED® Accredited Professional through the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) and Certified FenestrationMaster™ through the American Architectural Manufacturers Association (AAMA).

Olivier added, “He will be greatly missed.”
