POLAND - John R. Ramun, 76, passed away Thursday, July 28, 2022, at the Cleveland Clinic. John was born May 6, 1946 in Youngstown, the son of Michael Ramun and Louise V. Ramun.

He was a 1964 graduate of Rayenn High School. In 1973 John founded an industrial demolition and contracting business together with his father. John was the owner and president of several Youngstown, Ohio based companies, including Allied Consolidated Industries, Allied Erecting & Dismantling Co.

Throughout his many decades of hard work and relentless dedication to his family businesses, John pioneered many new and innovative demolition techniques which enabled his dismantling company to successfully perform some of the most complex and large-scale demolition projects ever accomplished in the U.S. He was also an extremely gifted inventor who held over 100 U.S. and foreign patents over the course of his career. John’s manufacturing business, Allied-Gator, began in 1978 when he and his father designed, built, and patented the world’s first hydraulically powered mobile shear. Today Allied-Gator designs, builds and sells, hydraulic powered demolition and recycling equipment to customers across the globe.

He was a devoted Christian who loved Jesus and loved studying the Bible. John was committed to his relationship with his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and was a committed member of Bethel Friends Church in Poland, Ohio.
