“I am the past President and CEO of J&S Construction Company in Cookeville, TN. Ron Gardner was one of our most valued employees before his retirement from the company. I personally worked with Ron for many years and was the beneficiary of his work ethic and personal integrity. He always wanted to exceed client expectations and made this possible by his attention to detail and his organized approach to planning and executing the work. Ron was a good friend and fellow worker. Johnny Stites”
