I was very sad to hear of Ron's passing. I had many contacts with him over the years. We in Europe knew him as a beacon from NZ. Even if you were not a big signal he would pull you out of the noise. I will miss him on the bands and am sorry you left us so early. de John ON8EI living in Belgium but from Cork, Ireland. Thanks Ron for everything. 73's

I met Ron at an amateur radio meeting years ago and spent a fair bit of the time talking to him about various things. He was also a familiar face when I attended one of the national amateur radio conferences. Ron was a really nice, and genuine chap with a wealth of knowledge and experience. He'll definitely be missed by all.

Thanks for taking the time to chat with me over the years Ron, may your signal always be present and strong amongst the stars, forevermore.
