Louis A. Joó, 83, died on Nov. 19, 2014, in Johnson City, Tenn.

While at Great Lakes Carbon, he earned more than 100 patents in graphite and carbon fiber technology. His true passion, however, was his family. He loved taking his family abroad for pleasure, education, and visits with family overseas. His knowledge of literature, music, art, and museums was vast, along with his collection of souvenirs from museums the world over.”—Eva Joó, wife

Education: M.S., chemical engineering, 1956, Golden Diploma Award, 2006, University of Pannonia (previously Veszprém University of Chemical Engineering)
