I was shocked and saddened to hear of Ron’s passing.
We first met in 1971 when he was commissioning the Wheal Jane concentrator in Cornwall, UK and I was a vac student on a neighbouring tin plant. Even though we lived on opposite sides of the world we remained in regular contact and always met-face-to face whenever an opportunity arose.
Ron was a very special man and skilled minerals processor. He built global friendships and will be sorely missed by all who knew him.
ロンさん、いつも笑顔で家に迎えてくれる貴方が大好きでした。寂しくなりますね…
ご冥福をお祈りいたします。
First meeting Ron in the 80’s, our paths crossed many times. I was one of the fortunate ones who benefited from his knowledge and friendship over my career. Sympathy to his family. RIP mate.
Farewell Ron. A true friend to Rosa and me over 53 years. A wonderful husband to Misa and father to Hana and Gemma. You were a giant in the metallurgical world mate and your generosity of knowledge, prodigious humour, congeniality and insight were amazing.
I loved our weekly chats and our views on everything but sadly our support of the Saints never won a flag – but now are you with them!
United with Misa and at peace but we will never forget you and your amazing life. I miss you cobber, a wonderful life, well lived.
Ron we all had so much fun, Rennison was such an adventure then all the good times in Melbourne with your lovely family. Reunited with Misa, go in peace my old friend
Thank you Ron for your mentorship over the years, the times together in the jungles of Papua… the sound advice always shared with humor and fair minded good sense
How timely to meet up with Ron, and to meet Gemma and Hana in Zeehan last year. An extraordinary man who was warm and sociable always. Had the privilege of working for Ron at Renison in the early 70’s and often participated together in the Big Bell fun runs. Our sincere condolences and bet wishes to Gemma and Hana. Bless you both. Kindest regards from Lindsay and Anna Newman, Granville Harbour, Tasmania.
Farewell Ron many great memories have been shared. I’m proud to call you my brother.
Ron was always larger than life. Always cheerful, quick with the wit, possessed with an excellent memory and just fun to be around. He loved the finer things of life and was always comfortable in everyone’s company. I had the privilege of working with Ron at is first job in Australia at Queenstown where we shared many good time together. Ron, you will be missed.
Farewell Ronnie. We will miss your visits “home” Great things have been said about you today I am very proud of you
An inspiration to me, well beyond a mentor and colleague, but as a true and supportive and endearing friend. One of a kind.
Thank you for the chance to see a memorable service. The words spoken by his friends reminded us of the life we shared with Ron, especially on the West Coast where so many great friendships began.
Ron’s kindness and legacy shone through today through every story shared and even from afar, I was grateful to be part of honouring him. Sending so much love and support to you, Gemma and Hana. xxxx
We were friends since the My Lyell days and have been ever since
I shall sadly miss my old mate Ronny
Wonderful service, every word well said. His exact life, described perfectly. xx
Thanks mate.
There’s a lot of Sn in the universe Ron. You’d best get to work. Hope to God there’s plenty of Shiraz over there.
Thank you Ron for everything. You were a first class person in every respect and will be missed by all of us. Rest well, yours was life well lived.
RIP Ron after a life well lived, a profession well served, and fond memories treasured by your mates around the world.
We were friends over 30 years and worked at some of the same mines but never together
We shared a lot of technical infornation and Ron was always keen to help others
RIP
Thanks for all the happy times we had over the years Ron. Gone but never forgotten.
A huge loss for the world, and for Ron’s family. A wonderful gentleman and an amazing metallurgist. My team in Bolivia passes on their condolences to Ron’s family and friends. Ron was looking forward to visiting here again. He’ll have to look out for our project from above.
Such a wonderful man.. My thoughts and prayers are with you Gemma and Hana.
