Ranza was certainly something else! I have fond memories of skiing behind his boat and sometimes I think he wanted me to fall! Allowing me to use his pool.
More recently on his land on Coulson Ch. Rd. We would have ride abouts him showing me all the points and just shooting the breeze, he would always bring you Tammy into our talks.
He will be missed.

So sorry to hear of Ranza's passing. We had pulled tractors with him for many years. We always enjoyed seeing him and talking to him at the pulls. He and his Farmalls were always tough competition. He loved to win. We will surely miss him.

Tammy & family. I was very sad to hear of Ranza's (Ranzie as most people called him- including me) passing. I always enjoyed being around him. He would ask me about Auctions and I would ask him about tractors. He was always pleasant and and had a smile. We are out-of-town and won't be able to attend the service. We apologize for that. Prayers for peace and comfort.
