For many years, Ron was a NACS Director, a Founder Member, a strong supporter of the NACS and what it stands for.  Ron was a very sociable man and those that had the chance to spend time with him will remember the many stories he had to share about Chimney Sweeping.

On a personal note, I had the privilege of knowing Ron for over 35 years.  The original NACS Committee meetings used to be held at the London Coal Board offices in Victoria SW1.  Ron never missed a meeting.  He also attended numerous meetings across the UK representing the NACS.  He also assisted with training new Members, and was a Regional Officer and Director for over 30 years.  I valued Ron as a friend and colleague, whose commitment to the NACS was second to none.

Our thoughts are with Ron’s family and friends at this very sad time.

Best regards,

Martin P. Glynn
