November 10, 2025Oh Glors, am sooo sorry to see Ron has finally lost his hard fought battle! You were both such an inspiration as you gave it your all and kept us up to date with his traumatic journey! Life can be such a bitch at times and it’s so unfair that such good people have to be put through the mill like you have!

Ron was a truly wonderful man — kind, genuine, always willing to help, and someone who made everyone around him feel valued. We will always remember his warmth, his gentle strength, and those good times spent together, especially the days fishing at Wingan Inlet.
Most of all, it was clear how deeply he loved you. The bond you shared was something very special.

With love,
