Wayne B. “Wiener” Tronrud, age 63 of rural Clear Lake, WI, passed away unexpectedly on November 4, 2016 at the Amery Regional Medical Center.
Wayne Bruce Tronrud was born on July 1, 1953, in Amery, WI, the son of Edwin & Eleanor (Anderson) Tronrud. He grew up in the Clear Lake area, attended school in Connersville, and graduated from Boyceville High School in 1971. In 1973, Wayne joined the US Army and served in Germany. He was honorably discharged in 1976. Upon his return to Clear Lake, Wayne worked as a “Garbologist” for Community Sanitation and later as a Sanitation Engineer for Waterman’s in Amery for many years. He enjoyed organizing community softball leagues, watching professional wrestling and affectionately became know as “Wiener” for his love of skin on hot dogs and popsicles. In 1985, Wayne inherited his parents 80 acre farm where he raised beef cattle, a business that he ran as “Wiener’s Fantasy Ranch”. In his trademark overalls and yellow Chevy Cobalt vehicle, Wayne enjoyed visiting with family and friends and was known for his regularly scheduled trips to various eateries and meeting places in and around the Clear Lake area.
