Deepest sympathy to the Townley family at this sad time.
First met Ron in the late 60’s and always got treated honestly and fairly.
Later on in life we caught up occasionally whilst competing at historic racing events, always looked forward to those meetings.
RIP Ron.
A wonderful generous man who gave my father a massive leg up in life. Most of my oldest memories are of Ron & all of his boys. I’m sure I speak on behalf of all the Harris family.
Condolences to his family Rip Ron.

Ron had a Big voice that was powerful, jovial and sincere which matched his presence. What a sad loss for the world and my thoughts are especially with John, Peter, Damian and extended family. Much love to you guys at such a sad time.
Fond memory’s of my first job working with Ron, who looked after me as young employee. I will always remember Ron as a kind and fair man, who gave a young bloke a go. Rest in peace Ron.
I only met Ron once. He was an impressive character and happy to share his experiences with me. Ron was the original owner of the Flamenco Red A9X that I now own. RIP Ron.
condolences to Lorraine & Townley family
An awesome guy
On behalf of Lorraine and our families,Thankyou everyone for your condolences and kind words
I am saddened to hear only today the passing of my “Uncle Ron” as I would call him growing up. Ron was a constant in my life growing in Koo Wee Rup, being my parents friend. I always remember Ron being so happy to see us when he came over, his big hugs and I can still hear his voice now.
Ron was a HUGE support to my family over the years and would drop everything to drive to Mildura at the drop of a hat when needed. Such a generous man, he had a big heart and I thank him for all he did on behalf of myself, mum (Diane), Mario, Anthony and Domenica. xxx
