    Name is Ron, 70 years old, retired USAF SMSGT, Oklahoma State Alum.  I live in a tiny south central Kansas town and spend my time piddling around in my yard. Used to drink and still smoke even though I know better.  Opy is my decompression from life's tribulations. Any time I get a little melancholy playing a round of WGT golf with him always snaps me out of it. 

    First Car was a '63 Corvair Spyder, that ran like the Starship Enterprise. Psychedelic headline and black lights rigged up to make it glow!  In the USAF I did just what I joined for, saw the world.....North Africa, Europe, Most of non communist Asia, and the islands around it, New Zealand, Hawaii, Mexico, and places that no one ever heard of. So, that's me....still enjoying life and always on the lookout for new adventures.  Oh yes, I've attended the Masters, U.S Open and PGA Championship along with several Tour events.

    Update; The Gunny was relieved from his post at 12:15 am on Dec. 1, 2015. The rifle has been laid down. He held on until I got home to tell him it was OK. No more pain or suffering. Dad went peacefully. He filled every shoe he was ever assigned to fill, Son, Brother, Husband, Father, Uncle, Father-in-law, Grand Father and Great Grand Father.

    Thank you all for your responses.

    Rest in peace Marine.

    Sorry for your loss Rich, losing a parent is hard to deal with at any age.

    He sounded like quite a man.

    RIP Gunny.
