I met Ron back in 2012. The company I worked for was a subcontractor who did work with Rons company Story Construction. At that time i had been around the construction business for over 25 years. Ron taught me a couple lessons in this business today that i apply to my work . Ron was a good man. He loved his family and his retirement home. When ever we talked you feel the live he gad for them. God took another good one from us. My deepest sorrow goes out to his family, may god be with you in your loss. Ron gods speed and i will see you again someday. Ray Hendrickson Family
Always a good guy to me – back in the days of my dad’s shop, Ron stopped by a lot. My sincere condolences to all Ron’s family and many many friends. Respectfully, Rick
Thoughts and Prayers to all the family and friends. We always were thrilled when Ron PM’d our projects at REG and he always treated us the best.
My thoughts and prayers are with you Cindy and the whole family. I worked with Ron for all of his 21 years at Story Construction and we really had a great relationship. Ron was a very special guy. I learned a lot from him about construction as well people skills. He knew how to take care of his customers. I am really going to miss him. Rest In Peace my friend!
My prayers too Cindy and her family. I’m sorry too hear about Ron’s passing my prayers for all.
I was so sorry to learn of Ron’s passing. I have fond memories of him at Grandma North’s, visits at my moms etc. I remember him coming to Grandpa Crain’s funeral and how nice it was to se him and give him a hug. Sorry I wasn’t able to attend the celebration of life. Sending you all peace and healing. Corinne Lee Walker
