BUSINESS BRIEFS

IN MEMORIAM: LON MUSOLF With sadness, we share that Londale “Lon” Musolf passed away on November 7, 2024. He was born on August 1, 1927, in Crosby, Minnesota. In 1953, Musolf gathered up the $300 his wife Dona had been saving from his earnings as an apprentice installer/ finisher and began doing business. In 1986, he started a new venture, Lon Musolf Distributing. Musolf was the president of Lon Musolf Flooring Company and Lon Musolf Distributing. He was a founding member of the National Wood Flooring Association (NWFA), an instructor for NWFA schools, and was inducted into the NWFA Hall of Fame in 2001. He loved his craft, but loved people more. His friends and family were blessed with his generosity, curiosity, integrity, and warmth.
