Ronald Franz

Ronald Franz is an eighty-year old devout Christian and soldier who picks McCandless up hitchhiking and takes a strong liking to him. He has lost his wife and children long ago, and so feels a fatherly affection for Chris, whom he offers to adopt. After hearing of Chris’s death, he stops believing in God.

Franz doesn't have a "high" view of society and is a loner. He keeps to himself and hasn't any friends. McCandless pretty much opened up the world for him.
