RIP Ron
June 25, 2019
Ron was my first boss when I joined 3M. He was a smart, patient teacher, and trusted me with bigger projects early on than I expected. In later years as more of a colleague he routinely had a unique view of how to approach problems in a very studied manner. I had no idea he was ill. So sorry for his family and friends...too young and to be sorely missed.

We're so sad to hear of Ron's passing. He was a great friend, mentor and boss. He made work fun whether in Guin, AL, Menomonie, WI, or St. Paul, MN. We've lost a good man. Galynn, Joe, and Jennifer, our deepest sympathy to you. May Ron's infectious smile, sense of humor, and caring nature live through you. He will be missed.

I'm so sorry to hear about Ron. I wasn't aware he was sick. Sue and I feel terrible. I wish I had kept in contact with him over the last few years. You always think there will be time later. He was a good friend and I will miss him greatly. God's peace to you during these difficult times. Brad Weum

Joanne and I remember the early days at 3M where Ron and I were process engineers in the reflective signing materials division. Ron was always organizing activities; softball playing at Tartan Park, rappelling down the cliffs at Dayton's Bluff, skiing weekend in Wisconsin, fishing with Meingast, looking at his collection of gold coins and participating in his wedding in St. Louis. I was impressed with his Dads hot dog electrocution cooking device and the lovely family in St. Louis. Our careers separated after 5 years but we connected occasionally over the years. He is someone you would never forget, especially if you ever drove with him in his car when he was a young kid! Rest in Peace my old friend.
