Ron Smigiera started with Marathon in June of 1991. A lot of things in the world has changed since then but not Ron providing his services for Marathon. On Tuesday, June 6th 2023 we celebrated Rons Retirement at The Original Warehouse restaurant in Orchard Park. Ron was presented gifts from the staff and a retirement check from President, Tod Cislo. Rons last day of work was June 23rd 2023. Ron, a man of very few words told the group at the retirement party, “I'm really going to miss you guys”.
Statement from President, Tod Cislo:
"It is with great gratitude that we bid farewell to our longest tenured employee of 32 years, Ron Smigiera. We wish him all the best as he enters the next stage of his life where he and his wife Corinne will be enjoying the well-deserved time together and will be able to spend more time with their son Jason and his wife and grandchild. To add to the excitement of the moment he has also informed us of the announcement of his second grandchild. Congratulations and best of luck from all your work family at the Marathon Companies. Cheers!"
"I just completed re-roofing nearly 60,000 SF of 55-year-old roof on the 6th floor of the building here at the Tri-Main Center in Buffalo. I told the roofer at the onsite that I wanted Marathon replacement drains when we first walked the roof. That’s exactly what I got, The “Aluminator” replacement drain! Carmody Roofing went to their supplier, Beacon Building Products to get the dozen or so Marathon replacement drains I needed. I have to say that they add a great finishing touch to the new black EPDM roof. Kudos to the Marathon crew for providing the myriad of roof drain solutions and products for roofing needs everywhere!"
