Dear Judy, Sarah and family,
I have been thinking so much of you all and what you must be going through now. I'll always remember Uncle Ron from all of my visits to Wellington to stay with you, and how he always made me feel so welcome and just part of the family! Matt only met him a few times, but was touched by the way that Ron always had time for him and how he was genuinely interested in what he had to say. I'm so glad he is at peace now, and know that he will never be forgotten. Thinking of you all. XXOOXXOO

To echo a lot of the other sentiments; we always enjoyed speaking with and spending time with Ron. He will be greatly missed.

As long as I can I will look at this world for both of us. As long as I can I will laugh with the birds, I will sing with the flowers, I will pray to the stars, for both of us. ~Unknown

Judy and Family,
so sorry to hear of Rons passing.
As Teresa said, he was a great, humble man with an amazing presence who always remembered your goals and dreams and took pride in seeing others succeed which was always touching and motivating.
He's free now and he's free to be with you all, 24/7, which im sure he is.
