This is the only company for whom Aaron worked, as he worked his way up to Ohio Transportation Manager.
Aaron touched many lives at work and at home. He enjoyed working on anything that involved a motor, including a short stint with a NASCAR team where he volunteered his services just because he loved the thrill of being involved with the best of the best in the universe of professional engine mechanics.
He was always fast to offer his help wanting nothing in return, he had a smile for everyone, and he was witty and jovial, always making whoever he was with feel as though they had known him all their lives. He was loved and will be missed dearly by family and friends.
