Starter: friend in CA was named Chris. He was into ham radio but not very social on the repeaters. Repeaters were like chat rooms basically. Ron and I were on the "Mother" repeater out of San Francisco. He wasn't on that one, he was on another one.
He was very bossy, I didn't like him much but he took Ron and I (I had to go to take care of Ron) sailing. That was alright although sailing in Northern CA is very cold most times. He used to mock me for bringing a coat and basically said I had to "man up" and get used to the temperatures.
One time we were out late and he came to our apartment and slept on the couch in the living room. The next day at breakfast he was telling us how he led a sexual assault and felt it was justified. He didn't give me enough details to report him but I was horrified I had a rapist sleeping on my couch. The kind of rapist who blames the victim.
I didn't want anything to do with him after that although he still talked to Ron on the radio and the phone.
We moved.
Ron met Chuck. More later.
So Chuck approached Ron one day and did the "wow you're amazing" thing. We would go out to dinner sometimes. Ron almost always ended up paying.
Some notable Chuck facts: often borrowed money, would not pay it back unless Ron hassled him for a couple of weeks. Would say things like "Something came up you just have to understand".
Liked to brag to Ron about his sexploits, most of which were paid. He said enough to me I realized he was a sadist.
He liked to live well beyond his means.
When Ron got sick and the money dried up he was nowhere to be found. As in, he didn't call for months at a time. When Ron died I called and he sent me to voicemail, I left a message that Ron had just died. No response for days, then he texted me "I guess Ron got all the answers he wanted from God" and nothing else.
He had called Ron "His brother". Personally I am glad he disengaged it might have been messy if he made a play.
That's it for now.
