Ronald Hall

I was sorry to hear of Ron Hall's passing. Years ago, when he was active in the ACI Intermountain Chapter, I had the honor to work with him; I learned a lot. In the often hectic and hard driving construction world, he could see the other side of life; I remember the "Random acts of kindness" on his business cards. He and his family will be in my prayers.
