Birmingham Fastener Inc., Birmngham, AL, USA, has announced the passing of its founder and CEO, Howard P. Tinney.  Howard Tinney started his career in the warehouse at Southeastern Bolt and Screw, working his way up to sales in the late 1970s. In October 1980, he started his own company, Birmingham Fastener & Supply. Adding nine additional locations along the way including a manufacturing operation, Mr. Tinney dedicated his working life to the fastener industry. An avid sportsman, cattleman and deer breeder, his solid reputation and friendships were far reaching and he will be missed by many. A supporting member of numerous industry organizations as well as a member of the Board of Directors for Wallace State Community College, he was an unselfish supporter of his church and his community. Son, Brad Tinney, will continue his current role as President, seeking to follow the vision his father had cast to create and sustain an organization based upon sound ethics, loyalty and integrity, seeking to: “Always do what is right just because it is the right thing to do.”
