Ron’s great sense of humour, care and company brought me to come by almost daily and to spend some time with him and Helen.
Ron was always a joy to be around and we had some great laughs. He will be missed.

So sorry for your family. I remember that your dad was such a nice man. He had a very distinct low voice and I can remember his burley laugh. He will be missed by many.
