Ron Lenz was working with his wife Joyce in the woodshed at their home in Drummond on the evening of May 24. He went inside for a drink of water, and when he came back out, his wife of almost 50 years was gone.
Joyce, who suffered from dementia, had wandered off before. She had always liked to go for walks near Owen Lake, where they live, but she never went too far and neighbors knew to keep an eye out for her and send word if she was out and about.
But this time was different. Within a half an hour of her wandering away, Ron had found no sign of her. Neighbors hadn’t seen her, either.
So Ron called police, kicking off a search involving hundreds of police, dogs, dive crews, drones, volunteers and other rescue crews — a search that continues to this day more than a month later.
The entire Lenz family – the six kids Ron and Joyce share, their 31 grandkids and 41 great-grandkids — are waiting for resolution.
Ron just wants to know what happened to the love of his life.
Ron and Joyce met in 1973 when Ron returned from service in Vietnam and was stationed at an Air Force base in Minnesota, working part-time at the base bowling alley.
“She had four kids at home and they all liked to bowl,” Ron recalled. “That’s how we got together. We would take the kids camping and bowling, and it went from there. It’s history.”
That chance meeting an instant attraction began a life traipsing all over Minnesota, North Dakota and Wisconsin, with Ron working in construction, maintenance and other jobs. The constants in his life were Joyce and kids — they ended up with two of their own to add to the four Joyce had from a previous marriage, but they also spent almost all their spare time with other parents’ kids.
