It's heartening to see tributes coming in for Ron.He is very much missed on Teesside and in particular at Stockton Folk Club. I've just heard from his daughter that the funeral will be at Teesside Crematorium (St Bede's chapel)on Monday 29th September at 10:10 a.m. The crem. is on Acklam Road, Middlesbrough TS5 7HD. I don't know yet what is happening afterwards.
Ron had been admitted to hospital recently with pneumonia and other complications. He appeared to pull through and had a good day chatting with the members of his family. He was discharged soon after to a nursing home but sadly went into decline and died on Wed. afternoon (17th). He was 83.
Farewell old friend.
