He passed this week at the age of 83.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Gore, who went by &#8220;Bob,&#8221; is best known for his 1969 discovery of a versatile polymer, the first breathable waterproof fabric. He introduced the world to the Gore-Tex technology in 1976. Gore was president of the Newark-based company from 1976\u00a0to 2000.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Gore &#8220;paved the way for advancements in industries as varied as performance fabrics, medical devices, space exploration and filtration, assumed the chairman emeritus role in 2018 after 57 years of service on the Gore board, 30 of those as chairman,&#8221; the company said in a statement announcing his death.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>While not a veteran himself, Mr. Gore&#8217;s inventions undoubtedly helped many of us weather (pun intended) uncomfortable conditions while in our service.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You probably don&#8217;t immediately know the name of Gore, but he kept us dry.
