Sad news and our condolences go out to all your family.  On my time on the Town Council  he was such a character and many will remember’Ron’s Shop’ in the Corner House where he tried to sell items on behalf of Street Fair.

I am very sorry to hear this, Martin. Ron was a great character with a wry sense of humour.  He was a pillar of numerous organisations around the town.  He will be very much missed.

My condolences. Ron was an amazing advocate of old Charlbury and great supporter of the Museum throughout his sterling service as my deputy chair of Corner House and  Memorial Hall Management Committee.

My condolences.  He really was a lovely man, and we enjoyed the occasional chat.  He seemed to know everything about Charlbury and everyone.  A real force for good.  We chuckled at the fact that I sleep in the bedroom where he was born.  RIP.

So sorry to hear this sad news Martin. I remember Ron being St John’s leader when I was a child and he ran some sessions for children. He certainly ensured the future of the museum with so many years of dedicated service.
