Read MorePlease accept my sincere condolences. Ron was a super guy - no nonsense, straightforward, and he cared. We worked together at Lithonia/Acuity and his dedication to work well done was evident. I'm sure he'll be sorely missed by family and friends. God bless you, Pam and all those that are grieving.
