Dear Linda and family, We are so sorry to hear of Ron's death. We knew that he had been ill for years. He has left us quite an amazing legacy: his work on the establishment of the Highway of Heroes and his improvements of St Peter's Heritage Cemetery to name just two endeavours. We got to know each other better when he was waiting for Linda after her secretarial duties at St Peter's on a Friday morning. I hosted Friends at 10 so he always seemd to make time for a visit with us and other parishioners. Our condolences to you, Linda and all your Flindall family and friends. Sincerely, Peter Brotherhood +
