Cllr John Howard, who grew up around the corner from Ron called him "a giant in Aldborough Hatch" who was immensely proud of the place he lived in. "He was always fair and was never short of a friendly word or a stern correction if he thought we needed it. "He always focused on how to make the area better; whether that was through charity, litter picks or standing up for what he thought was right." Wes Streeting said if it weren't for Covid restrictions St Peter's Church would be packed to the rafters to pay tribute to Ron. - Credit: Wes Streeting
