To the family of Ron Stringham: My name is Colleen Beeson. I worked for the State of Utah many years ago and Ron was my boss. We've lost touch over the years, but I'll always remember what a great guy he was. He hired me to work in data entry and I worked with him for 14 years before I quit and moved out of the state. I was sorry to hear of his passing, he was a really great guy and I'm sure he'll be missed by all. Sincerely yours, Colleen Harris Beeson
