I remember Ron, along with his parents and sisters who lived on the farm next door in Owhango!!! We girls were always envious of Ron and his new bicycle which he would ride to the end of Otapouri Rd, park under the trees beside Rumbles boundary and hop on the bus to school! Bicycles were never on our radar!!
Ron was always distinguished as a gentleman….even at school. Always willing to help, always there for you. He had a great sense of humour and a ‘can do’ attitude. His devotion to family and community were second to none. He will be missed.
My sincere condolences to Marie and family, I know you will continue to live with the love he left for you.
