Ron was one of the most endearing characters my husband and I have ever met. We met Ron and Mary onboard a Viking ship, cruising the Adriatic. We nicknamed named them ‘The Stalkers’ because coincidentally they always seemed to be where we were. Much love to Ron’s family and friends and especially to Mary. Ron was obviously a man very well loved and respected. Rest in peace Ron, enjoy your cruise ship in the sky. Love Wendy & Tim 😘💕

Listen to the wind and hear him whisper, I love you. Turn to the warmth of the sun and feel his embrace. From the rain drops above feel his kiss upon your cheek . Look to the twinkling night sky and know he watches over you. Always know you are not alone, for in the silence, the laughter, and the tears he continues to be with you. In the faces of your children , the laughter of your grand children, and smiles from the great grandchildren, he continues in your journey. Just out of sight but forever present in you hearts. Until you meet again. I love you Mr. Uncle Ronnie Sir. You are missed.
