May 11, 2021 3:28 PMI knew Wrangler back in the 1980's when my husband, kids and I lived in Sheldon for about 4 years. He was always very kind and friendly to us. It was just a couple months ago my daughter and I were talking about him and I could not remember what his real name was. My heart and sympathies go out to all his loved ones. Tell my Jon hi from me and rest in peace Wrangler! Mary (Myskza) Jodsaas

Love and prayers, Don and Renae Lau, Washington State

April 11, 2021 10:06 AMSo sorry to learn of Ronnie's passing - he and I were paired alphabetically for our entire Sheldon School years! So many memories of "Wrangler" especially at our Junior Class play when Rick Cullen actually called him Wrangler instead of the character name. So blessed to be in the Class of 1971 and to have treasured memories of our good friend Ron. Sincere sympathy to the family - may all your memories be happy ones.
