I met him once at a Orchard supply convention here in town, my buddy was at a booth next to him, told him he had a friend “Me” that was a Marine, R Lee actually called me on my cell phone and told me to get my Ass over there Ricky Tic, Dude was the coolest guy I’ve ever met, signed my Ermy action figure and squared away my 4 year olds cover LOL ! Sad day for the Marine Corps and all who loved him, God speed and Watchout Heavin Gunny Bad Ass is reporting for duty !

When my son came in the room tonight to tell me I could tell he was upset, I myself felt a heavy dose of sadness as well. I always hoped to have met him one day at a con he may be at, Ive heard he stops and takes the time to talk with his Marine brothers at times. His brother was a supply NCO when I was boot, he would share stories whenever we were there to get gear. Gunny will be missed greatly.

Everyone remembers Full Metal Jacket, but he was a good in a lot of other supporting roles, such as SEVEN, Apocalypse Now, Boys of Company C, Hexed, and was a highlight of that ridonkulous Seagal film "On Deadly Ground".
