    Ron-Solo Has Passed

    I've just received word that long-time Calgunner Ron-Solo has passed.

    He was a frequent poster in this forum for many years, and we've all enjoyed his banter on LE related topics.

    He had a long and very distinguished career with the LASD.

      To have your posts broken down thought by thought and then be eviscerated by the typed word by that man was an experience and an honor not unlike being taken down in the front row by Don Rickles at one of his shows. Like him or not, agree with him or not, he was (like the OP of this thread) a VERY well thought out and spoken man.

        Ron-Solo was my "non-biological sibling". My brother from another Mother for close to 30 years.

        Ron's distinguished career with LASD spanned over 3 decades, starting in the days of blue steel wheel guns and Chevy Nova's.
        He was a humble man who when asked about his multiple citations for on duty valor/heroism, described them as "a bad day at work".

        He was a dedicated family man and a fierce friend, who will be greatly missed.

        RIP, my brother.
        Then said He unto them...
        "and he that hath no 1911 designed by my servant John Moses Browning,
        let him sell his garment and buy one."
        And they said, "Lord, behold, here are two Glocks."
        And He said unto them, "Meh, it's a good start."

        Luke 22:36-38 (somewhat paraphrased)

          Godspeed Brother. Rest in peace.

                Ron was a good guy.
                We PM'd many times about this and that.
                RIP, Sir!

                  I never met him, but he always had eloquent posts. Seemed like a very cool dude. Anytime one of my public safety brothers passes on, It?s a very sad day.

                    He will truly be missed here. I will keep him and his family in my prayers.

                    RIP, sir.
