NRMCA and the ready mixed concrete industry notes with sadness the death of Tom Becken of Producer member Cemstone. Mr. Becken was born in 1936 in St. Paul, MN, as the oldest of six children. He graduated from Harding High School in 1954, and attended Valparaiso University before returning to Minnesota in 1957 to work for the family-owned and operated ready mixed concrete company started by his grandfather. He would continue working at Cemstone and TCC Materials for more than 68 years, leading the construction materials business as president, CEO and eventually chairman of the Board. He also served as an NRMCA Board member and was a past winner of the William B. Allen Award.
Visitation will be held today, Wednesday, May 14, at Gethsemane Lutheran Church in St. Paul. A funeral service will be held tomorrow, May 15, at the same church.
