   Sending our love and sympathy from New Zealand. We were very lucky to have Ron & Bonny next door to us. John will miss his buddy who had all the tools, and the great advice on how to get the job done.. Wish we could be there to pay our respects, please know we will be with you in spirit.

   We are deeply saddened by Rons passing. We have known him to be a genuine kind soul with a wild sense of humour and a real knack for story telling. Our hearts go out to Bonny and the rest of his family.
