Bonners Ferry Herald, February 1, 2007
Ralph Agueros, 72
On Jan. 20, 2007, we said good-bye to our loving husband, father and friend. 
Ralph Ernest Agueros was born on June 12, 1934 to Ernest "Ernie" and Alice
(Berganio) Agueros in Los Angeles, Calif. Ralph spent his early childhood in the
rough neighborhood of Boil Heights. At the early age of 9 Ralph discovered his
gift and passion for selling by selling programs at the Olympic Boxing Arena in
Los Angeles.
   Ralph attended and graduated Whitter High School in Whitter, Calif., and it
was there that he met his high school sweetheart Charlotte Lorraine Burgan.
   Fresh out of high school Ralph and Charlotte married on Valentines Day Feb.
14, 1952. As the Korean War came to a close and to serve his country, Ralph
enlisted in the United States Marine Corps. Ralph was stationed in South Korea
and was very near the DMZ. Ralph had many funny stories about his tour and role
as a cook for the Corps. Ralph's family had many SOS meals and we all learned to
cook because of his experiences in the Corps. In August of 1956 Ralph and
Charlotte welcomed their first son James "Jimmy" Anthony Agueros. In May of
1958, they added son #2 - Richard Allen, and in December of 1961, they welcomed
son #3 - Christopher Charles - Charlotte's last try for a girl!
   

To support his family Ralph spent many years in the meat packing and butchering
business. In the late 70's Ralph found a new passion for buying-selling-and
trading guns and jewelry. Tired of the "rat-race" of Southern California, Ralph
longed for a better way of life, and through one of his gun buddies, he made his
first trip to Bonners Ferry. Ralph fell in love with "Bonners" and in 1979 made
the Leap to follow his passion - soon the whole family re-located to this area.
Buying-Selling-& Trading was Ralph's passion, and owning Roundheels Pawn & Gun
was the pride of his life. Over the years his businesses have had different
names, but it was the Roundheels name that he as most proud of. The Kootenai
Tribe officially gave him the name because he was such a "push-over" and so
"Roundheels."
   Ralph is survived by his wife of 54 years, Charlotte of Bonners Ferry, Idaho,
mother, Alice, of Long Beach Calif., sister, Margaret Jeanseau, San Clemente
Calif., sons, Jimmy, Richard, Christopher and their families as well as a whole
lot of very special grandchildren and great-grandchildren. On Saturday, Feb. 17,
2007, the family will hold a memorial and celebration of Ralph's life from 9-11
a.m. at the Roundheels Shop on Main Street in Bonners Ferry, Idaho.
