Robert John Schwinghamer, Jr., March 12, 1928 – July 28, 2014.
Robert John Schwinghamer, Jr., 86, of Huntsville, passed away Monday [July 28].

Mr. Schwinghamer was stellar amongst the nation's foremost experts in the field of aerospace materials and process engineering. He entered Federal service in 1957 with a U.S. Army agency as a member of the Dr. Wernher von Braun rocket research and development team. He transferred with that team to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's George C. Marshall Space Flight Center when it was formed in 1960.

His career was characterized by brilliant achievements in both the managerial and technical fields of endeavor. He served as Associate Director Technical at NASA's George C. Marshall Space Flight Center.

Senator Jeff Sessions' Tribute to Robert J. Schwinghamer on the occasion of Schwinghamer's retirement in 1999.

I remember seeing him at several of the USSRC's Saturn/Apollo reunions, and he was one of the more animated interviewees in the Moon Machines' "Saturn V" episode.

There's a great little story about him helping save Skylab in Homesteading Space - worth a little research.
