Meet Your Neighborhood Milkman: Ron Voelpel

Milkman Ron Voelpel

Ron lives in the Puyallup-Spanaway area with his wife and four kids. There's not just one thing he loves about being a milkman. He loves everything about it!

Hometown: Auburn, WA

What year did you join the team: 2013

What do you enjoy most about your job? A combination of serving the customers with a quality product and it’s a product they depend on me to provide for them. I get great satisfaction in that.

What’s your favorite product? Chocolate milk

What’s your favorite way to spend a day off? Working in my yard

What’s your favorite thing to do in the Pacific Northwest? Playing golf

What was your first job? I had a paper route in 4th grade

Please share anything else you would want customers to know about you: I love to go camping with my family and friends. Loading up the trailer and hitting the road as my family sleeps most of the way. They count on Dad to get them there. In fact we have quads and travel to the Oregon dunes several times every year to enjoy riding and exploring the dunes and beach.

Just wanted to let you know it was perfect that you only had 2 of our usual 5 half gallons today as we still had milk from earlier in the week and it would have been too much. It worked out perfect!!!! Thanks for the note. Laveda,

Ron, thank you for always making sure our goods arrive safe and sound! I always try to turn on the lights on our property in Federal Way when I hear you coming, however I didn't hear you last week! You've got to be the best Smith Bro's drive on the team!!!

Ron,
We moved our box to our back door to reduce potential prowl potential. This is where we had it in years' past. Just come thought the gate in the alley between our house & garage.

Thanks!
