Uncle, I have fond memories of you, your sense of humour and outlook on life. My deepest condolences to Uncle Ron's whanau and friends. Love to you all. Uncle Ron, rest in peace.

In loving memory of a truly kind and gentle soul. Uncle you were a man who radiated warmth, compassion, and love in everything you did. There wasn’t a bad bone in your body—only goodness, generosity, and an unwavering spirit of kindness. Your heart was a place of peace, and your smile was a light that brightened the lives of everyone lucky enough to know you. We will forever carry your memory in our hearts, and your legacy of kindness will continue to inspire us every day. Rest in peace, knowing you made the world a better place just by being in it.

Thank you for some of my favourite childhood memories Uncle Ron. You always had time for us kids the fun Uncle forever. Much love ❤️

A true “gentle”man who adored each and every member of his family and lead by example. We have so much love and admiration for Ron, he will always be remembered for his quiet and assuming presence. His 89th birthday celebration was so special and meaningful. What a man.
