To all the family I am sorry for your loss. Ron gave up a great deal of his time to be our soccer coach. One thing he taught us when we were playing was never to throw the ball backwards when taking throw in. A great life lesson I have adopted all my life. Do not take a backwards step. Forward is the only way!

Sorry to hear about the passing of Ron. We enjoyed good times with Ron & Shirley through my involvement with Shirley at the Court. Visited Ron when he was at home and I was doing Meals on Wheels and had some good chats. At peace now with Shirley. Love to all the family.

Dear Caron & Family - I have many happy memories of your Mum & Dad, especially when I visited them at home and Ron had just done some baking. They were a much-loved couple and are greatly missed.
