Joan,  we are so sad to hear of Ronnie’s passing. He was a wonderful neighbour to us at our Inverness residence and always had a smile and time to chat while he enjoyed his many cups of tea.  For the last 13 years he would mow our lawn and keep it in tip top shape, saying it was no big deal as he was doing his anyway. His was the first face we would see when we arrived. We certainly will miss his presence.  Sincere condolences to you and the girls as well as the beautiful grandchildren that he obviously enjoyed (patiently) spending time with teaching them things, fishing in the yard, riding their bikes etc!  RIP Ronnie! Until we meet again. Kenny & Tish, Coxheath

Our thoughts and prayers to Joan and all Ronnie's family. Rest in Peace Ronnie .

So sad to hear of Ronnie's passing. He was a wonderful childhood friend of mine, growing up on Forest Street together. Ronnie had a great laugh and beaming smile. He was very generous and quick to share treats from John Neilie's store and his mother's homemade bread.
My thoughts and prayers are with the family during this difficult time. 
Rest peacefully Ronnie.

So sad and shocked to hear of Ronnie's passing.  He was always a pleasant and friendly person growing up and in recent years when Neil and I would be on Forest Street and run into him.  Condolence to Joan and all his family.  May he rest in peace!

So very sorry to see this. Sympathy to his families. He was so very nice when he met you.  When I see/hear of people who have died with connections to my childhood it makes me so sad. Prayer/hugs & sympathy going to al of you.


Dear Joan, the girls, his siblings and his relatives:
Ronnie always had a “hello” whenever I met him when I came home.  Ronnie was “Ronnie” always the same with that little chuckle of his!
I can only send you strength and courage through prayer at this most difficult time.
