THEIS HENRY ERIC ERICSSON OF...
THEIS HENRY ERIC ERICSSON Of Sewickley, died on Friday, April 18, 2014, of Parkinson's Disease. He was 80 years old.

He was the author of the 672 page textbook The Handbook of Metal Forming Processes which is still considered the definitive work on the subject. He graduated from Phillips Exeter Academy, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he studied Mechanical Engineering and was a Member of the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity, Harvard Business School, and after completing his service in the Army, University of Chicago Business School. Mr. Theis was a distinguished speaker at Duquesne University's A.J. Palumbo School of Business Center for Leadership in Ethics where he served on the Ethics Committee.

Whether it was helping those less fortunate in Pittsburgh, PA or serving at St. Paul's Church in New York City for four days after September 11, 2001, serving food to the rescue workers, Mr. Theis was a strong, brilliant man with a charitable heart, unwavering integrity, a twinkle in his eye and tremendous love for his family, church family and community.
