From Audrey E. Bateman
So sorry to hear this news. I grew up in Dublin and knew Ron and his brother and parents well. After a number of years at BCAL I discovered he was the same Ronnie I knew from years ago. Quite a coincidence. My sincere condolences to the family.

From Tony Cocklin
So sorry to hear about Ron. In my experience, Ron was a respected professional and an asset to the Chairman's office - and obviously the airline as a whole - in those difficult days of the 1980s. At the same time Ron was a gentleman and offered a helping hand, along with a great sense of humour, to everyone. Condolences to Ron's family.

From Trevor Boud
Sorry to hear of Ron's passing. We called on Ron and Anne at their home in Wareham about 2 years ago. Ron performed a solid job as Company Secretary.

From Charles Powell
I came to know Ron well, particularly in 1984/5 when I was in the Chairman's office when we were planning the possible flotation of the group on the London Stock Exchange. He was very much the professional and true gentleman. He served the company well. RIP.

From Sally Ann Beischer: So sorry to hear this. Ron was a lovely man. I worked for him on a few occasions.

From Jeff Youtan: RIP Ron

From Angela Mansi
So sorry hear about Ron. I remember Ron well, he was a lively and welcome addition to any crew party and a lovely man. I met him a few times, including in Lusaka, and he was warm and down to earth with us all. A sad loss to his family.
