Ronald Werner died on Tuesday 6th January 2026 at Royal North Shore Hospital at age 94. Ron had been suffering from Alzheimer's disease for several years. I met with Ron in May 2024 when researching for my book “Service and Sacrifice- The Gordon District Cricket Club in the Second World War”. His memories of playing with Gordon District Cricket Club were very clear.
I wrote the following chapter about Ron, his career and his memories of the Gordon players of the day.
