Ramboz passed away

[Lefty]

Rxpharm asked me to share this here since I knew Ramboz personally. I reported it on LBR yesterday.

This is rather late and for me, very sad news. I had not heard from him for a while and knowing his real name and home town I did a google search and found an obit for him, dated Nov 2010. He was 65 yrs old at that time.
I had the pleasure of meeting him on a few occasions and spent a weekend at his house here in the states a few years ago and he could not have been a more gracious host. He was a very kind, honest and good hearted man.

Ramboz served two tours in Vietnam and was a highly decorated helicopter pilot. When he first made Warrant Officer back in the early 60s, he was the youngest one in the US Army at that time. I believe he'd just turned 19. I've seen plenty of his memorabilia and know for certain he did all the things he talked of having done. He was a legit war hero. I do not know how many of you ever met him, other than JaiDee, but I am sure many of you can remember his posting on the old ATS forum.

RIP old friend. Sorry for being so tardy in acknowledging your passing.

Lefty, thanks for sharing the sad news about Ramboz. This was his "home" forum and there are still some old timers who drop in from the old days that knew him.

He was a vibrant poster on ATS/TLF/LBQ forums. My condolences to his family and friends. May he R.I.P.

I remember when I first joined the old ATS forum (I had a different alias back then) the postings of Ramboz and that other late, great elder statesman of the forum, Rob69, gave me an informed insight into this exciting new world that I had wandered into.

May he rest in peace  and if there are ladyboy bars in heaven may these two old military men meet up and share a beer.

If a man served he at least deserves a Thank you.
