The Baker family, all originally from Kellerton are very sorry to hear of Ron's passing. Even though we have had no contact for years and years, we still have fond memories of the "onery" Ronnie Newton. Also, sounds like he did well in life and left quite a family. Remember the good times and cherish the memories.
