Dear beloved family of Ron, we are so very sorry for your tragic loss of your beautiful husband, father and Opa.
Ron was our sailing friend last year and we got to know him well. A lovely man who dearly loved life and family so much. We pray for strength for you all and send our love. We miss Ron and valued his friendship for the time we had, it was very special
Darren & Lily Young, Shellharbour NSW
I wish the family all the best for the future it was too Quick.
I was deeply saddened to hear of Ron’s passing.
My deepest sympathy goes out to all of Ron’s family and friends.
I got to know him and his family a little 10 years ago and I will never forget the kindness I felt in those three months. I got to know Ron a little and I will not forget the fun we all had at our holiday in Hobart. The cab drive at new years eve in special.
May your fond memories give you all strength. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Carmen, Tim and Natasha, my heartfelt condolences to you especially. The grief and shock of your sudden loss will make your lives very difficult for a while – but remember and treasure only the good times, the fun, the happiness and, particularly, the love.
May Ron rest in peace and may you be strong together in this trial. I pray for a blessing on the family and on Ron’s friends and colleagues.
With love.
Bericht voor de familie van Ron van Rennes
Lieve familie,
wat een verdrietig bericht en een groot gemis.
Ik heb Ron leren kennen als
een aardige sociale man, die het mensen naar hun zin wilde maken. Niets was hem teveel.
Ook was hij een echte family man.
Ik wens jullie heel veel sterkte en hoop dat alle mooie herinneringen aan hem een steun zullen zijn.
Hermie Roumen
Carmen, familie en vrienden, gecondoleerd
met dit verlies en heel veel sterkte voor iedereen.
Ik kan het nog steeds niet bevatten het is zo onrealistisch.
Op dit moment ben ik ontzettend dankbaar voor de vriendschap die we op school hadden, het weerzien een aantal jaren geleden in Nederland en de gesprekken via FaceTime.
Nog zoveel te doen…en je had ons Australië willen laten zien.
Too young and too soon.
Zachtaardig, behulpzaam en vriendelijk.
De wereld heeft een goed mens verloren.
Sail on sailor, sail on…

Sleep peacefully Ron.
We are so devastated to hear of Ron’s passing had much to do with him over the years! Ultimate tradesman and indeed I remember him as a young man in our store buying tools at a young age! Our thoughts are with his family a very tough time, so sad for you all he was very proud of his family x
In this time of deep sorrow: say goodbye to your loved one, but don’t say goodbye to yourself.
You never walk alone, and you will overcome.
Be sure of that !
I’m with you

Dear Carmen, Tim, Tash & Matt and family. Our sincere condolences on your terrible loss. Ron was such a helpful sailor and really enjoyed the Pacer challenges. He was so good and encouraging to our children and the adults when they started out sailing. Full of helpful hints re fishing and rigging etc. We have only happy memories of Ron, gentle and strong. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Sandy and Greg and family CYC.
Lieve Carmen en Family,
We waren heel erg geschrokken van je telefoontje vorige week toen je vertelde dat Ron er ineens niet meer was.
We hebben de week ervoor nog de foto’s bekeken, toen jullie hier waren paar jaar geleden samen in Wijchen en Nijmegen.
Mooie herinneringen, en Ron een geweldige leuke en lieve man.
We wensen jou, kinderen en familie veel sterkte om het verlies te verwerken.
Groetjes van Karin en George van Kolck
Gecondoleerd en heel veel sterkte met dit grote verlies
