Lt. Cmdr. Ronald J. Vauk was assigned to the Naval Command Center on his annual two-week Navy Reserve stint at the Pentagon.
   He attended the U.S. Naval Academy and spent five years in the Navy before joining the reserves. He worked at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory in research. One of his sisters described him as a “fabulous human being.”
   Survivors include his wife and a son.
   We will not forget him.
