A friendly manner
Ronnie E. Ash
W. Nicholas ,Street, North Philadelphia
"A friendly manner, anyone can see,
that these words fit Ronnie to a T,"
Ash's classmates wrote of the six-footer in the 1962 Simon Gratz High School yearbook.
Ash was a member of the yearbook staff and the choir, and enjoyed singing and dancing.
He was a counselor at a Boy Scout camp for two years before joining the Army in August 1966.
The 25-year-old sergeant, a rifleman, machine-gunner and grenadier with Headquarters and
Headquarters Company of the 1st Brigade, 1st; Cavalry Division (Airmobile), was on his
second tour of duty in Vietnam when he was found dead of a gunshot wound in an empty house
on March 23, 1970. Ash was survived by his mother, two half-brothers and a half-sister.
