It is with sorrow that I read in today’s Waikato Times the notice of Ron’s passing.
I write not only on behalf of his masonic brothers in Lodge Pukemiro no. 301 to convey their sincere condolences.
But also more personally as I was also a brother of Ron’s for many years when he was in the Alpha Lodge no. 81 in Cambridge. I always enjoyed his company, and although he has been unable to attend either in recent years, will remember him fondly.
Sincerely yours
John Barns Graham
Secretary (Lodge Pukemiro No. 301)
