As mentioned -The old days playing
Ping Pong -How do I contact David now Jim Howie 021933437

I knew you Ron and Family ( including
Brother David)a-I remember all those years ago playing "PingPong" against all your Family -Will always remain in my Memory

On behalf of Pam Collins and her family, who mixed with Ron and Dawn and their girls as if they were blood relatives for decades, I would like to note that Ron Hewitt was among the most admirable of human beings any of us ever had the privilege to know.

Ron was generous, spirited, positive, funny, warm, engaging and dedicated to his family and friends. During those years, he was an excellent counselor for us, the next generation. He had only detectable flaw; he was prone to cheat at the card table so as not to beaten up by his young rivals, his daughters and myself and my brother, Mark. And he was shameless about it when we caught him, which happened frequently, :-)! All that did was add to the delight of his friendship.

While we have been separated for many years by the needs of careers and the vagaries of fortune, Ron has left his unforgettable warming mark on us allhe is part of who we are.

I am saddened at the idea of never being able to catch up with him again on my return trips to NZ. My mother, Pam Collins, loved and admired him deeply like a brother! He was VERY VERY GOOD to her and to us growing up.

Our deepest sympathies go to his gorgeous wife, Dawn, his beautiful daughters Helen, Christine, Jocelyn and Rhonda, and to the splendid wider Hewitt family.

God bless you all and God Speed Ron.

HEWITT, Ronald Arthur. Passed away peacefully on 13th January 2018. Loved and much admired brother of David and brother-in-law of Barbara. Respected uncle of Ryan and Todd and their families. Forever in our hearts.
