Brian Graham’s Lovely Hair Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 I’m absolutely stunned. I fully believed Ron would be recovering soon and back at Easter Road. Can’t believe it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chefki Kuqi Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 Absolutely stunned by this news, like many I thought the announcement was simply him stepping back from his quite public presence at Hibs to fight the illness. I never really know what to say at moments like this, perhaps best to say nothing at all then, but I've got some reflections. I remember him sitting down with various podcasts about Hibs in the last year or so, even when things were bad for the club. He didn't have to do this of-course, but he genuinely seemed to want to reach out and understand the views of the fans, even when those views were at the time mixed to put it politely. To do all this in good humour at a time of extreme personal difficulty for himself is as others have said a mark of the man. I also remember the day when he bought the club, the pictures with him, Leanne, Rod and Sir Tom Farmer holding scarves aloft and talking brightly about the future. Since then he threw himself into things, and the more time goes on it seems he did actually get the big calls right, even if they're only starting to bear fruit now. I think each of us has their own experience with this disease affecting the people we hold dear or even ourselves, the moment it's first talked about I remember vividly, your world changes. My thoughts are obviously with his family and friends, particularly with his children as to my mind nothing compares to the pain. I hope this isn't in bad taste but I was introduced to this song on the big screens Ron installed. It was played as a backing track to pictures of members of the Hibs community that sadly passed away during Covid, it made me greet at the time and I may well do the same now. RIP Ron, you'll be remembered, you'll be missed. 19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
