Jill, we could not have asked for better neighbours in Tairua. The void you left when you move was something we have no words for. Ron popping his head over asking us about the lack of lemons on his tree on our side. Ron and yourself having a quick tipple with us on the deck. We miss watching your family arrive at Christmas. Seeing them grow over the years. Thank you for putting up with us. Our recycling bin now wins. We will miss Ron dearly. Fond memories always. The Woodyard Sisters and Co.

Hi Jill and Janine. Our deepest condolences at Ron´s passing. Remembering the days at Claude st, Te Aroha st on the Black Russians; Deanwell and Knighton schools. Our thoughts are with you.
Also Janine, thanks for the life changing conversation in 2011. I DID retire.
Gail now in Rest Home. I´m on the road in a motorhome.
I´m looking for a photo, but the iPhone wasn´t invented until August 2008!

Hi Jill and Family, I'm saddened to hear of Ron's passing. My thoughts and memories go back some 75years, little knowing that there would be a "connection" in time. In the building fraternity over here he was always respected and polite with local authorities. We all say farewell to a special person, a tradesman of regard, and a true family man at all times. The battles over. R.I.P. Ron.

Jill, I am saddened to read of the passing of Ron. I have many great memories of him when young, and the Shanley reunions which Ron and his brothers organised. Wonderful times. I cannot be with you on Monday but will be thinking of you
