In Memoriam
 
   
 It is with great sadness, we announce the passing of Robert E. Layton III after a courageous and extended battle with cancer. He was a 1974 engineering graduate of Texas A&M University before spending time at his father’s company, Layton Engineering Company; followed by 31 years with East Texas Medical Center, where he retired as Corporate Director of Plant Services. He had a prestigious career and was responsible for many landmark construction projects in Tyler and the East Texas area, including the Olympic Plaza and the Beckham Street skywalk. Robert was a long-time TAHFM member and contributed to leadership roles and the advancement of the association since the early 1990s. If desired, memorials may be made to the Robert E. Layton Engineering Scholarship with the Tyler Junior College Foundation. Robert and his wife, Marsha Anne, enjoyed fellowship and traveling for 36 years with many Tyler Junior College faculty, geology students, and lab assistants.
