In Memoriam Erwin Wellington Huber, Jr. Erwin Wellington Huber, Jr., of Towson, MD, died on January 11, 2015, at 94. He served in the Army Air Corp in WWII as a bomber pilot and attained the rank of Major. After his plane was shot down, he was captured, became a POW until he escaped, was recaptured and finally escaped again near the end of the war. After the war, Huber joined his father in business, soon becoming president of Topflight Corp., located in York, PA. Under his direction the company developed specialized printing processes including silk screen printing, made and licensed printing presses, and developed adhesives for pressure-sensitive labels. In 1961, Huber started Adhesives Research, initially as a support facility for Topflight, but within a few years this new company grew into an industry recognized "fixer," "problem solver" and "product developer." Topflight continued as a developer of new products, experimenting in laminating different materials together. With this process, together with its capabilities in mechanics, electronics, chemistry and graphics, Topflight became a leader in producing high-quality membrane switches, opening a door to a whole new technological breakthrough, blood glucose sensing monitors. With that, Huber incorporated yet another company, Conductive Technologies. Since their respective inceptions, both Topflight and Adhesives Research have partnered with investors internationally so there are related companies in Europe, South America and Asia. At his death, Huber was the Chairman of the Board of Topflight, Adhesives Research and Conductive Technologies, and on the Boards of Directors of several overseas companies. Huber supported a number of nonprofit efforts and was a generous donor to the Chesapeake Bay Foundation, Ocean Conservancy, Loyola College, Hillsdale College, The Odyssey School, United Way of York County, the Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center at Johns Hopkins, The Leadership Institute, The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation, and several Veterans organizations, to name a few. Huber was also a generous supporter of York College. His companies have a long history of providing York College engineering students with internships and co-ops. Huber was impressed with the quality of YCP students and graduates and decided that the College would be an excellent partner for Adhesives Research into the future. In 2009, he established the Huber Foundation with the aim of providing ongoing support to the College's Engineering and Chemistry programs. Already this has had a significant impact on both programs. Huber is survived by his wife of 72 years, three children, two grandchildren and a great grandson.
