Picture
Vale: RON HESLOP

Foundation member Ron Heslop passed away in November 2016, the first Lounge member to do so.

Ron will be remembered as a quite and gentle man who lovingly cared for his wife and family. His calling was as a General Practitioner, caring for his community, later turning his hand to avocado farming at Mt Tamborine.

​He was a wise soul – and a good listener - and I appreciated his sage advice on many occasions.

Ron had broad interests including wine and food, photography, NRL, EPL soccer, native wildlife preservation and the politics of euthanasia. He cycled regularly and enjoyed his Friday night footy sessions with his good mate and Lounge President Ian Begaud.

Ron first joined in - eagerly - with our early barbeques at Albert Park, Broadbeach Waters. While he did not participate fully in activities due to health issues, he was a regular attendee at our outings and fortnightly meetings and loved a feed, beer and a chat afterwards.

Ron will be missed by all who knew him. Our thoughts are with his family.
