8. Condolences to the Johnson family. I had the pleasure of getting to know Ron through my job. I loved his big smile and he always showed interest in his carers lives, as well as telling stories about his life. A cheeky sense of humour, Ron will be missed.

9. Dar,

   Your passing has made us deeply aware of just how profound his impact was.

   You helped shape who I am, and as your firstborn grandson, I was fortunate to share a quiet, special bond with you; “Number One.”

   You were a remarkable man who carried yourself humbly, with a deep sense of care and a lifelong commitment to providing for others. Your children, grandchildren and their partners, all carry your influence in different ways.

   We are incredibly grateful for the years, memories, and love we were blessed to share with you.

   You will always remain in our hearts.
