Another of my colleagues in Yarmy's Army.  I didn't know Ron well at all.
He seemed kind of hard to get to know.  He did a lot of shtick at Army
meetings that was hysterically funny, usually involving him being presumably
furious about something, some slight.  It was always funny, but he pushed it
so hard that I, not knowing him except in recent years, had difficulty
knowing for certain whether it was entirely, partly, or not at all an act.
I know he raged and fumed one night so hard he had us all rolling on the
floor, then stormed out and didn't come back for months.  For me, he was
almost a Rat-Pack-era Andy Kaufman.

I'm not surprised he died of a stroke.  The last few times I saw him, he
looked like a ripe tomato, totally red and about to burst.

He was an awfully funny guy.  RIP.

Jim Beaver
