John Stamper, an auto parts worker employed at the Faurecia factory in Saline, Michigan 40 miles west of Detroit, died on Monday of a heart attack caused by complications from COVID-19. He was 53 years old.
John worked in the receiving department as a member of the PC&L division, which includes Hilo and tug drivers who distribute parts to the various assembly lines.
