Over the summer months, Qualico was collaborating with Ron Reimer on a feature story to recognize a milestone of service to the company. In 2022, Ron was in his 45th year of service to Qualico. Ron had been diagnosed and was battling ALS for the last couple of years and had to put on a brave face as he fought this terrible disease. In light of the most recent and saddening news of Ron’s passing on August 31, 2022, Qualico has made the decision to release this feature story recognizing Ron’s career as it was originally drafted. Of course, in reading these words Ron shared just a few weeks ago and hearing the comments from the company’s leadership, this article takes on a whole new meaning. A private celebration of Ron's life was held with family and close personal friends on September 10, 2022.
