Our Uncle Ron
Sunday, September 9th, 2007OUR UNCLE RON
HILDA AND RON WERE JANE’S PARENTS BEST FRIENDS, AS BOTH JANE’S PARENTS DIED AT AN EARLY AGE, RON AND HIS WIFE HILDA WERE MADE ADOPTED AUNT AND UNCLE BY JANE, I GOT TO KNOW HILDA AND RON REALLY WELL WHEN WE STARTED THE WIGAN PIER CHARITY PARTIES BACK IN NOVEMBER 1992.
THEY BOTH HELPED WITH GLASSES AND BINGO, HILDA MAKING DOLLS TO RAISE MONEY AND BOTH HELPED US THROUGH THE STRESS THAT WE WENT THROUGH ARRANGING THE NIGHTS, THEY ONLY MISSED 2 YEARS, BECAUSE OF VISITS TO RON”S SISTER IN AUSTRAILIA. ANYBODY WHO WAS AT OUR PARTIES WOULD REMEMBER THEM.
RON WAS DIAGNOSED WITH CANCER A FEW MONTHS AGO.
ME OLD MATE, JANE’S UNCLE RON, DIED LAST FRIDAY THE 7TH SEPT 2007, AGED 78.
THIS PICTURE SHOWS RON IN THE MIDDLE OF KEVIN, MY BROTHER IN LAW, AND OUR BEST FRIEND IAN, AT THE FAREWELL BASH BACK IN NOVEMBER.
HE LOVED A BACARDI AND COKE DID RON, “CHEERS MATE” HE WOULD SAY AS HE PICKED ONE UP.
CHEERS RON, WE WILL MISS YOU.
WISHING HILDA AND HER FAMILY OUR LOVE AND BEST WISHES.
CHARLIE N JANE.
