Looks like he died in 2002 of Liver failure it seems.
That sucks.

I had forgotten he died.  Maybe he wasn't as smart as I stated previously. :-[

Tony had a good upper body
Terrible lower body development
Shouldn’t have won Mr America with only Half a Body.

He just won the AAU Masters Mr. Universe in November.



Of course, he was a favorite of mine as "The Jetman" during his WBF days.

1991 WBF Championship



1992 WBF Championship



Is he a "genetic freak"? Hmmm....

- AAU Mr. America by his early 20s,
- NABBA Mr. Universe
- Mr. World
- IFBB Denver Grand Prix winner
- Six-time Mixed Pairs World Champion
- AAU Grand Masters Mr. America (age 57)
- AUU Masters Mr. Universe (age 63)

You make the call!!

in 1976 Tony said he would win the mr. America by 1980. everybody said he had no chance in that short of a
period.

he won it in 1978

He probably does (or did). But winning Mr. America, before you can legally drink, doesn't equate to being a "normal guy".

Was he a heavy Drinker ?? I wonder.

Very good question.  Joe Meeko commented on that, and did say that Ron was a heavy drinker, and couldn't get that monkey off his back, and eventually died, essentially due to drinking [I think liver failure - or something else directly caused by drinking].  I recall some initial speculation that Ron died of AIDS, but his family refuted that online, very early on [but didn't give the actual cause, IIRC].  Below is a screenshot regarding what Joe Meeko said.  I have the link to the Ironage post where Joe Meeko made his comment, but the website is now only a part of our bodybuilding memories.  I could check the Internet Archive and possibly find it.

Here is an Ironage Getbig thread on Ron:

All the top pro bodybuilders are in one way or another.

They called him the muscular Michael Jackson in the late 80's. The Wiki shows him still alive.

He did a Digital Muscle interview with Shawn Ray, shortly after winning the AAU Masters Mr. Universe. So, unless something tragic happened within the last 60 days since then, the Jetman should be alive and well.
