Bill and I are very sad to hear of Ron's passing. We are both thinking of you Jan, and Robyn and your family. Much love and big hugs from Linda and Bill Carroll. We will come visit when we are back from overseas towards the end of October. PS. Love the poem - that seems to be a good reflection of Ron's life and love.

A man who helped many in times of trouble, through service to the community in St John and through his work as a funeral director in his firm of Palmer Funeral Services. He will be remembered with gratitude by many.

To Jan and family, please accept my deepest sympathy on your loss of Ron. I remember well his outlook on life and his tales of ambulance days, usually during morning tea breaks at Manapouri.
