Ron McCoy, founder and CEO of McCoy Enterprises, passed away on March 18.  McCoy was the co-inventor and manufacturer of the Feet First Buffing Pad, which he began marketing 20 years ago to podiatrists and the medical community. McCoy and his wife Laura later expanded the company into the beauty industry, where it has steadily grown. His entrepreneurial drive, quickly sense of humor, and gruff 6’4” presence will remain memorable to those who worked with him. He credited much of his success in the industry to the help and guidance he received from so many fellow manufacturers, distributors, and representatives whose “brains he picked” over the years.

McCoy Enterprise will continue under the leadership of his wife, Laura McCoy.
