From Wiki:

Robert Gene West was born in Memphis, Tennessee to Lois and Newton Thomas West.[1] An excellent athlete and former U.S. Marine, West played football for his high school and junior college (Jones County Junior College) teams and was a boxer in the Golden Gloves championships.

He hated college boys while he fixed Boyington’s Corsairs. I liked Black Sheep Squadron.

RIP Red West.

Yes, and he also had a role in the Roadhouse movie with Patrick Swayze. Cool action flick.

Red was one of the authors of "Elvis - What Happened" which was published about a month before the King died. RIP Red.
