Ronald J. Osweiler, 87, of La Crosse, passed away Wednesday, June 9, 2021. The angels escorted him to his heavenly home. He is at peace. Ron was born September 12, 1933 in La Crosse to Raymond and Valeria (Sobzak) Osweiler. He was the fourth of five children. Ron was a man of great dedication to his Roman Catholic faith, holding his dear Lord as the priority in his life. Attending daily Mass throughout his life was a routine he embraced as a gift. Upon graduating from La Crosse Aquinas High School, he served his country in the United States Navy .for two years. Upon returning home he spent the next 35 years delivering mail on the Northside of La Crosse. The people on his route became his family and he had memories to share with each address.
