Henry Neil Mallon, who built Dresser Industries from an obscure pipeline equipment concern to a world leader in energy-related products, died Tuesday of cancer. He was 88 years old.
Vice President Bush, in a statement released from his office in Washington, said: ''Neil Mallon shaped my whole life. He gave me my first job and, when I started my first business, he was at my side sharing his vast experience. We'll miss him.'' [Bush's 3rd son Neil Mallon Bush was named in his honor.]
Mr. Mallon was recruited as president of Dresser in 1928 while it was still in Pennsylvania, employed about 200 people and had resources of about $2 million.
His leadership brought rapid growth to the company, whose name was changed in 1944 to Dresser Industries. A year later, its headquarters was moved to Cleveland. In 1950, the company moved to Dallas.
Dresser currently employs 40,000 people in North America and reported earnings of $172.3 million in 1982 on revenues of $4.16 billion.
Mr. Mallon was a founder of the Dallas Council of World Affairs, a nonprofit organization that provides a forum for the discussion of world problems.
A memorial will be held Thursday at the Church of the Incarnation. Survivors include his wife, Anne W. Mallon, of Dallas.
