EXETER - Dr. John H. Munier, 92, of RiverWoods, died Monday,

He was born June 19, 1908, in San Diego, Calif., the son of William and

plant in Pennsylvania during the war years, he returned to the Corning
research laboratories in 1947 and was named to a variety of company
management positions. 

He loved classical music and enjoyed playing the piano for several hours
