Ronald Eugene Pringnitz (95) son of Emil and Anna (Schoenwetter) Pringnitz was born November 1, 1928 on the family farm in Twin Lake Township where he lived his entire life. He was baptized and confirmed in Liberty Methodist Church and was a member of Kanawha United Methodist Church.
He received his education from a rural school in Twin Lake Township and graduated from Kanawha High School in 1945 after which he attended Upper Iowa University.
He served his country during the Korean Conflict, attending Signal Corp School in Fort Gordon, Georgia and serving in crypto communications while stationed in San Francisco, California and Washington state.
He was united in marriage to Marjorie Pilquist in 1957. To this union four children were born: Tami, Sandi, Steve, and Jill. Ron and Marge lived on the home farm for 50 years and then moved to the town of Kanawha.
Ron served as a 4-H leader, school board member, Township Trustee, and was very active in the church.
Ron enjoyed farming, fishing and nature, especially wildflowers and birds, sharing these with grandchildren by catching bullheads at West Twin Lake, strolling through the flower garden, and holding baby pigs. His dry sense of humor and wit were enjoyed by many and passed on to his children and grandchildren for future prosperity.
