I can only reiterate what our Mike has posted earlier and everyone else's fond memories of a man whose influence on ourselves & so many others cannot be over stressed.

Like Betsy, we go back a long, long time with Ron to our 'raw' beginnings in the early '70's. He encouraged us when others were, maybe, more circumspect, he was a friend, a mentor and an inspiration but, above all, he was a genuinely kind, warm and generous person whose passing, like that of his good friend Graeme Miles, is a major loss to all who were lucky enough to have known him

Our sincere condolences to his family. - Tom Wilson
