This page is a tribute to a very dear long term friend who sadly lost his battle to Leukaemia in 2006.

His partner Bruce Tunis of 32 years arranged a "Celebration of life" service for Ron at the 'Hollywood Forever" cemetery in Los Angeles.

I flew out from London to offer a eulogy to Ron and sang the Charlie Chaplin song, "Smile" at the service of which was officiated by good friend Cindy Birdsong.

It was a very moving and emotional service with many wonderful tributes from close friends and neighbours.
