Raynel Company Home Page

	Greg founded The Raynel Company in 1980 along with now-retired partner Gary Nelson. Greg spent 15 years as a top salesman for Kaiser Steel in Los Angeles calling on the mining industry throughout the Western United States. Greg became an expert in the metallurgy and structure of steel and in particular its application to the ground support needs of the mining industry. Today it is his keen understanding of his products as well as the needs of customers that has helped Raynel develop a number of proprietary products. It is his creative talents and positive approach to marketing products that have contributed greatly to the success of Raynel. Greg passed away on September 27, 2001 leaving his company in the hands of his two sons, Dave and Daryl, and leaving behind a legacy of professionalism and dedication to his customers. The Raynel Company and the Ayers family have been overwhelmed by the outpouring of support and heartfelt condolences from the many people that Greg touched in his professional life. We are very thankful for the flowers, phone calls and cards we have received and also thankful for the impression Greg made on many people's lives. Thank you
