Presents an obituary for Ladd Wheeler (1937-2018). Wheeler was a leading researcher in what some have called the "golden age of social psychology." To those who had the good fortune of working with him, Ladd was known for his ability to separate sense from nonsense both in psychology and in life, as a supportive collaborator and mentor, and as a tenacious grammarian. Among his numerous publications is a book, Interpersonal Influence (1970), that introduced generations of students to the core mission of social psychology-how the social environment affects behavior. Wheeler was president of the Society for Personality and Social Psychology in 1986 and founding editor of the Review of Personality and Social Psychology from 1980 to 1983.
