Invented a bunch of things, including the Popeil Pocket Fisherman.
No!
The world is ending. I bet the Hair In A Can will make him look good.
RIP...Consumate salesman and entertainer.
It’ll take a long for him to catch up with Generalissimo Francisco Franco...sarc

You Took A Long Time To Hook Me, Popeil
You took a long time to hook me, Popeil
with four hungry children
and a house that’s mobile
But just on a lark
I caught me some carp
and fried up that’s one tasty meal
You took a long time to hook me, Popeil
But wait, there’s more!
You took a long time to chop me, Popeil
With four hungry children and no time for a meal
but with Veg-o-Matic
I learned not to panic
and make vegetables quick with appeal
You took a long time to chop me, Popeil
Now, how much would you pay?
I took a long time to rotisserie
with four hungry children in my domiciliary
but now with my Showtime
Rotisserie’s so fine
and more, it’s so quick and easy
It’s so easy to rotisserie
(The above paragraph has never before been typed before in the history of the English language.)
Cat had a good run, gotta give him that!
In other news ... Francisco Franco is still dead ... Thousand or more lost in the sinking of the Titanic ... Keith Richards has outlived everyone.
Everything he sold was junk or borderline junk but ya gotta love him.
Ron has looked 86 for the last 20 years, but he always had the energy and delivery of a lit firecracker.
He always wore long sleeved dress shirts and usually a tie.
His hair was perfect.
I always thought Ron was one of those very sucessful retailers who could have hired actors for his commercials, but he enjoyed making the sell himself.
He was very comfortable in front of camera and lights.
“BUT WAIT!!!! THERE'S MORE!!!”
I have his dehydrator. But how am I supposed to paint my bald spot now?
Don’t forget the Ronco Veg-a-matic. It slices and dices. (although it was invented by his father, Ron just sold it).
But just for you
