SMP is saddened to announce the passing of a member of our Board of Directors and former President and Chief Operating Officer, John P. Gethin. John died peacefully at the age of 74 on Monday, June 27, 2022, at his home in San Diego, CA.

Mr. Lawrence I. Sills, Standard Motor Products’ Chairman, stated, “It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our long-time friend and colleague, John Gethin. John joined SMP in 1995 and served in various capacities including President and Chief

Operating Officer. In March 2016, upon his retirement from Standard, John was appointed to our Board of Directors, where he was a great contributor thanks to his extensive business experience and unique perspective. We will greatly miss his spirit, support and guidance to our company and our employees. I will dearly miss my friend, and everyone at SMP joins me in extending our deepest condolences to his family at this sad time.”
