Thinking of you Heather during this sad time.
Dear Heather sorry to hear about uncle Ron our thoughts are with you all love Jeff and Dell and family.
Much love to the family. I was lucky enough to live next door to Ron in my childhood in Gin Gin then have him be my employer and also MC at my wedding. A true gentleman, with a kind heart and beautiful soul. He will be missed xx
Sad news indeed, he always seemed a strong and stable companion- he will be sorely missed. A fond memory I have was a time at the Randwick Races, I don’t believe we won, but we had a great time . Please accept mine and Robert’s commiserations and love. Denise Williams x
Sad news. Ron was a good friend of my mother Joan Jones and her mother Lily was a sister of Ron’s dad Jack. Heather and family, please accept our sincere condolences in his passing.

Sorry I cannot make it today. Our thoughts and prayers are with you today Heather, and your family, on this sad occasion.
It must have been already 35 years or more when I was at Bunderberg, visiting Senior Heather, his mother-in-law, Heather & other members of his family. Second meeting was in Hong Kong when he and Heather came. He and Heather were always intimate to me, specially Heather who writes annual Christnas news of that year. Just miss him at this time tunnel.
Heather am sorry for your loss. Ron was such a gentleman. Thinking of you and the extended families.
