Ron was always a man who had no time for dying. Life was just too interesting. He was important to and loved by the Potter Butlers. He chronicled the past bringing to life his childhood in the King Country and his wartime experiences. He loved the big occasions. His grandchildren made him very proud. He was a much respected and appreciated father in law. He will be missed.
