CBA extends our sympathies to the family, friends and former colleagues of Ron Paulk, who passed away recently. In the early seventies, he helped coordinate a local group of business leaders to start The Bank of Fitzgerald which grew to become Colony Bankcorp with its stock currently traded on the New York Stock Exchange. Colony Bank posted a tribute to Ron for his vision recognizing the need for a hometown bank focused on community progress.
