Fastener News Now April 2015
Customers and Vendors:
It is with deepest regret that we announce
the loss of former Earnest Machine
President John Zehnder. John succumbed to
his fight against cancer on April 6, 2015.
Earnest Machine was started by John’s
father, Paul, in 1948. It did not take long for
John to become a part of the family
business. John started working at Earnest in his teens. He
attended Concordia Teachers College in River Forest, Illinois, and
taught high school in Chicago for several years, returning to
Cleveland in 1967 to work for Earnest.
