TijuanaTim Posted 24 September, 2008 Share Posted 24 September, 2008 Ron is up and about and pretty mobile. His operation appears to be a real success, so much so that the leading surgeon we set him up with is really motivated to carry out the second operation as soon as possible, most probably Thanksgiving time/late November. Ron is settling in well in his new location, which is much better and more appropriate than his last place. Him and his wife Chris are in a much more stable and better situation than the recent past health-wise, locale and financially. Big Ron gets around well he is continually recovering mobility, he is very happy and very grateful to everyone's help and encouragement. This is truly good news and I hope it does something for the 'feel-good' factor around us at the moment which could do with a little injection of positivety.

Isla Wight Posted 24 September, 2008 Share Posted 24 September, 2008 Thanks very much for the update TT.....at last some good news! Can't help thinking that the only way SMS will get an extremely large crowd this season is for RL to pay for Ron and Chris to come over and be introduced to the crowd. Be like the old days.

Can't help thinking that the only way SMS will get an extremely large crowd this season is for RL to pay for Ron and Chris to come over and be introduced to the crowd. Be like the old days. I too am hoping and praying that Wildey will have noted your post and decided he can do something on behalf of the club to bring this about. Let us hope that when recovered from the second op that Ron and his wife Chris are special guests at St Marys.. Xmas would be nice...Lowey could even dress up in the old red suit... Start the ball rolling please..Nice Mr Wilde. TT you and Ron are more than welcome.. Thank you.

Colinjb Posted 25 September, 2008 Share Posted 25 September, 2008 Ron has to come over here for a game once this is done. We may have fallen a long way since he played for us, but certainly we can still show him the club is still alive in spirit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EFM Posted 28 September, 2008 Share Posted 28 September, 2008 Just imagine the bloke walking round the pitch as SMS! Would bring many a tear to the eye and, I think I'm right, a few thousand more oldies in just to see him again and applaud him to the heavens, not to mention those younger who will know the legend by generations before them and want to see him in person for perhaps a first time. A lovely lovely thought. I hope he can get over here and be treated like a king. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Fan CaM Posted 28 September, 2008 Share Posted 28 September, 2008 Great news to hear Ron is making a good recovery and hope all is well for round two. Got to agree with all others who have expressed a deep wish to see Ron at SMS - I know it will bring a tear the eye for many - it would be a fantastic gesture of goodwill to all the long-suffering fans to be given the opportunity to applaud Ron onto the turf at SMS.

I'm not bitter.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ottery st mary Posted 29 September, 2008 Share Posted 29 September, 2008 sorry to hear this but I am sure many posters are still in shock with Saints winning and all that. I had sent my own papers etc through TT but still wish to be part of any posters response to wish Ron the very best. Like with TT, I would like to thank you for the work you put in on this site and for good causes like Ron. I think the http://www.giveittoron.co.uk is well worth a look for all fellow posters as I would like to see Ron back on his pins and a nostalgic return to Saints. I think the turn out would be heart warming and would lift his spirits no end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not bitter.. TBH whilst I DO wish him all the best and support in a practical way - I would feel a bit odd passing on personal best wishes to someone Ive never met. Maybe a 'Best wishes' thread where we can all say 'aye' would work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a 'Best wishes' thread where we can all say 'aye' would work. Buctoo, mate you have an extremely valid point. Some people could feel well weird about that. With that in mind I will guarantee any good wishes I can pass on. Maybe a new thread specially for it...not my call, but whatever - I will assure Ron gets positive regards.
