I met Printon in 1987 when he became my boss at the Ship Repair Facility at Subic Bay, R.P. He was the smartest and most eloquent person I ever worked for, as while he could be very demanding, he always assigned whatever task was given to teach and broaden his subordinates. He was one of those individuals that you appreciate more and more as you are around him. A clever, extremely intelligent man with many talents. He will be missed by all who knew him.
