A Sad Goodbye

Today at NETL we lose one of our co-workers to the big R and I mean R as in Retirement.

Ron has been at NETL in excess of 30 years and he and his wife will be retiring to Fort Meyers Florida in a few weeks. He's ready to hang them up, and we are going to be very sad to see our friend go.

Ron is also a little more than just a co-worker, he is also family. Ron is an Evanto and is actually Jean's cousin and grew together with all of them. Jean had a brother named Gary (and eventually named her son that) that was killed at a very young age attempting to cross the road in front of what is now Texas Roadhouse. Ron and Gary were of similar age and they were also best friends.

I'm going to miss Ron, he's one of my favorite guys to discuss WVU sports with as he is as passionate as a fan that there is.

The Group from Engineering (my group) is the longest surviving group at NETL, there are some of them including Ron who have worked side by side for 30+ years together, I was just fortunate enough to be able to join and work with this great group.

Hi ho hi ho
