Welcome! Charles O. and Maritom Pyron Fund
In 1972, along with Donald R. Strack, Charles O. Pyron established ADCO Products, Inc., in Michigan Center, Michigan. Pyron’s passion was aiding small businesses. Although a native of Jacksonville, Alabama, Pyron pursued his passion in his adopted hometown of Jackson, Michigan. He recognized that small businesses are not only the backbone of any local economy, but small businesses embody the dreams of their owners. During his career, Pyron worked to create an environment where these dreams can come true. Pyron created informal networking groups for local small businesses in addition to serving on local community boards. Pyron served two terms as president of the Jackson County Chamber of Commerce and was named Michigan Small Businessman of the Year in 1984. He was also an avid sportsman. Maritom K. Pyron currently resides in Scottsdale, Arizona. She honors her late husband’s commitment to the community by supporting local non-profits in Jackson.
