It was with great sadness that I heard of my Uncle Ron´s passing. We spent a lot of time with him when my brother and I were growing up and I have very happy memories of my time around him. He was an admirable and inspirational person with a cheeky sense of humour. I was lucky enough to spend some time with him when I was last in NZ a few years ago, a memory I treasure. He will be missed by all that knew him With Love Kaye Honeybun

Fond Memories of Ron and Lola when we were resident in Glenfield attending Presbyterian Church and also a Fellow Rotarian with Ron at the Glenfield Rotary Club. A wonderful warm and caring couple. I had the privilege of visiting Ron not long ago and we shared memories of those days. Rest in Peace.
