My dad bought my mom a Ronco Chop-O-Matic, in I think the 60's.  He thought he'd gotten her the best thing since sliced bread, but she wasn't too impressed with it!  lol

RIP Ron.  I purchased several of his products over the years.  I read that he sold his Ronco company in 2008 for over $50 million dollars.  What a go-getter!

Just think, we'll never again hear Ron say  "But wait, there's more!"

He was such an effective pitchman. One of a kind. RIP.

@mom2four0418 thanks for setting me straight.  I guess I need some new readers!

I still use my Showtime Rotisserie.  I have a chicken defrosting right now to cook in it.  I will do so in his honor.  I still have the cassette tape that came with it when I purchased it from QVC many moons ago. 

He was certainly the calming showman--no yelling, no arm waving, no nonsense, just good information and demonstrations from a nice man that I trusted.  And my trust was justified as the oven still works as good as the first time I used it.   RIP, Mr. Popeil.

Ron was not just a pitchman. He was a visionary and inventor. I still want a pocket fisherman!

That's sad.  I will think of him everytime I look at the tiny in-line holes in my kitchen flooring where I dropped the rotisserie wheel from his oven, or for the next few months until the new flooring gets laid.  RIP, RP.

@Northern Belle 2 death of a salesman!

We have the EZ Store Rotisserie. Bought it when it was on sale for about $90 at Home Depot. Now it's about $167.

It makes the best prime rib. YUM!!!

RIP Ron.
