BALTIMORE — Ed Ronemus, who worked for Komar Company for 12 years and within the industry for more than 30 years, passed away Sept. 8.

He was much loved and will be greatly missed.“
Komar Company’s Mike Savage added, “I did work with Ed briefly he was a gentleman, very friendly and helpful. He had a great memory, knew almost every store in the country and the owner or the buyer, he knew when they last ordered, what they liked, it was pretty amazing.”
