Ronald Pringle

Dear Pringle family, I was so sad to hear of Coach Pringles passing. I was a student of his while I attended CCSU. I adored him in so many ways. He was a dedicated coach, fantastic teacher and loyal and fun friend. I listened and appreciated all his life messages he would share with me. I have made effort to try and teach my students in similar manner as Coach Pringle taught me. I will always keep him and these wonderful memories alive in my heart. With sympathy, Michelle-Shelton Ct

Coach Pringle spent one year in Avon, but it was a memorable time, especially for those lucky enough to know him. I was a high school junior & played varsity basketball for him. He was one of the most positive and optimistic individuals I´ve ever known. He had a kind and encouraging word for everyone. I think he made a big impact on people during his short stay in Avon. I know he had a profound impact on me. RIP Coach

Fond memories of Coach Pringle @ CCSU w/ Men's soccer (1981-1983). Kind hearted gentleman. May he rest in peace.

Always remember his wonder Smile!!! I first met Mr. Pringle at LHS in the late 1960's. He was Athletic Dept and teacher at Litchfield Schools. Reunited again with Ron in 1980's -- CCSU He was co-coach and friend to Jack Suyam (Swimming Coach at CCSU) Remembering many wonder memories made through the years. My sincere sympathies to you Beryl. You had 39 years, time passes so fast. I know Jack and he will be again.... making fun memories. Love to you in this very difficult time. ...

Coach Pringle was a great coach but even a better person. I became a better player and a better person because of his influence and guidence. May God welcome him with great joy and tell him well done my son.

Coach...may God greet you at his gates..you had a wonderful life

Mr. Pringle was my fifth grade teacher at Litchfield Center school. He taught us so much about science, math, history, and how to be a good person. He called me "specs" because I had to get glasses that year and they weren't stylish. That was 61 years ago. He helped students, and athletes. Greg, Lon, Joshua, and Beryl, I am very sorry for your loss.

Years ago as a little girl who had recently lost her mom, I began spending some weeks every early summer, in Weatogue, CT, with Aunt Laura, Uncle George, and cousins Ronnie and Robert. A special kind of retreat, all were so good with me, and Ronnie took me under his wing. This teenager, busy building his own life, would play hours of hide and seek, show me his sports trophies, hike with me to the top of the hill across the road from the house, and would eat ice cream with me on the back...
