Our condolences to Donna and family. My husband and I have enjoyed visiting with Ron and Donna (our son Josh is married to Kelsey) in the past few years. One night we had a long conversation about the spinners he used for his paint brushes and he gave us a tour of his shop. It was a great evening! He will be missed.

I had the privilege of working with Ron for 3 years when we both worked for Harvey Bolkema Painting, and since I was relatively new to the painting industry I was the subject of several of Ron's classic one-liners. I'm sure he will be missed greatly by family and friends.
