🎉 HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Ronald Iker! 🎉
Today, we’re not just celebrating Ron’s birthday — we’re celebrating a man who has been an incredibly important part of the Pither Plumbing family for nearly 37 years.
Ron joined Pither Plumbing on October 5, 1989, and the dedication, knowledge, loyalty, and professionalism he has brought with him every day since then are difficult to put into words.
Over the years, Ron has never stopped learning or challenging himself to become better at his craft. He worked his way from earning his Journeyman Plumbing License to becoming a Master Plumber, while also earning his Backflow Prevention Assembly Tester certification and developing an incredible depth of knowledge across virtually every aspect of plumbing service.
In our opinion, Ron has become one of the most well-rounded and technically skilled service plumbers in East Texas — and we’d put his knowledge and abilities up against just about anyone in Texas.
But what makes Ron so special to us goes far beyond licenses, certifications, or technical ability.
It’s the decades of loyalty. The countless customers he has taken care of. The problems he has solved when others couldn’t. The knowledge he has shared. The example he has set. And the commitment he has shown to doing things the right way.
Ron, you have helped make Pither Plumbing what it is today. We hope you know how deeply you are respected, appreciated, and valued by all of us. Having someone dedicate this much of his life and career to our company is something we will never take for granted.
We also want to recognize Ron’s family, because nearly 37 years of dedication to a career doesn’t happen without the love, patience, sacrifice, and support of the people waiting at home. We are sincerely grateful to your family for sharing you with the Pither family all these years.
Ron, it is truly an honor to have you on our team and an even greater honor to call you family.
From all of us at Pither Plumbing, we hope you have the happiest birthday yet. You have certainly earned it.
Happy Birthday, Ron! We love you, we respect you, and we appreciate you more than words can say. Here’s to many more! 🎂🎉🔧
— Your Pither Plumbing Family ❤️
