On Thursday, December 20, 2018, Ronald M. Miniat, Chairman Emeritus of The Miniat Family of Companies, passed away at the age of 89.
After graduating from St. Joseph's College and serving in the U.S. Army, Miniat joined the family business in the early 1950s, working along-side his brother, Eddie, and his dad, Ed, Sr. when the business consisted of peddling meat to the local butchers. More than 60 years later, the business is thriving in its fifth generation with over 900 employees and a customer list that includes some of the most-recognized brands in the world.
