Ronald was born May 10, 1943 in Two Rivers, son of the late Harvey and Florence (Goetz) Stangel. He attended Washington High School, graduating with the class of 1962. Following high school, Ronald began working at the family business, Stangel Super Value, which he continued to operate for the rest of his career.  He also served in the National Guard for six years.
