About WASB
Region 2
It is with deep sadness that we share the passing of WASB Director Randy Erickson, a dedicated colleague, leader and advocate for public education.
Erickson, 67, passed away unexpectedly on June 27 at Worcester Lake, one of the places he loved the most. He served on the Prentice School Board for more than 30 years, including 20 years as board president. He was also serving his second term as the WASB Region 2 director on the WASB Board of Directors.
“Randy was a friend and colleague to his fellow WASB directors and was one of the most good-humored people I have had the pleasure to work with,” WASB Executive Director Dan Rossmiller said. “His pleasant manner and gentle nature will be missed. Randy made many contributions to the Prentice community, not the least of which was to bring people together and bind them in support of the Prentice School District.”
Erickson, who is survived by his wife, five children and 14 grandchildren, spent 41 years with the U.S. Forest Service, including 27 years as a boundary manager of the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest.
We will share more information about the process for filling the vacant board position as it becomes available.
