[BILLYHIBS]

We love Ron 💚

RIP

[DarlingtonHibee]

Very sad loss. He had a positive strategy to take Hibernian to the next level. RIP 🙏

[Pagan Hibernia]

I miss his energy, enthusiasm and positivity, which were infectious.

Hopefully in the coming years, his vision for Hibs is realised.

[DaveF]

Bit shocked to see so few replies in relation to this. Not that I'm expecting hundreds - that was all done this time last year - but a bit of a shame not many bother to acknowledge it.

[leith lynx]

Sadly missed, his dream lives on.

[Donegal Hibby]

Always had the clubs best interests at heart
A true Hibee
RIP Ron

Wanted nothing but the best for Hibs.

Sadly missed.

[Alfiembra]

Miss his interviews was always keen to talk to the fans and came across as a really decent guy and a gentleman RIP

[McD]

Still sad to see a man with such energy and drive taken so soon.

Lovely tribute from the club, and it made me think about how rarely we see club owners passing away in situ. The only ones I could think of were Thomson at Dundee Utd, and Jack Walker at Blackburn, although I’m sure there’ll have been others sadly

[JimBHibees]

Sad day for the club when he passed. Imo always had the clubs best interests at heart. RIP Ron :flag:

[wookie70]

First time I have seen the footage of the Gordons in the Director's Box when SoL is being sung. Very emotional day and I hope the Gordons remain in the decision making seats at ER for a long time. RIP Ron

[superfurryhibby]

R.I.P Ron, a huge loss to Hibernian and to all his loved ones.

It would have been interesting to see how/if Ron would have shaken up the Scottish game if he had been spared. He was only just getting started at Hibs when Illness reared it’s head.

What a lovely tribute that is.

[Greensunshine]

A lovely man who had the best intentions for the club. He’s a big miss but let’s make sure his legacy lives on.

[Broken Gnome]

Ach I love Hibs. Despite it all.

Miss him.

[sleeping giant]

Aw man.
He had me hooked from his first interview.
His passion and enthusiasm shone through.
I was fully behind him and believed that he meant what he said.
He was a breath of fresh air.

[Jpdhfc]

RIP Ron

[The Harp]

Ron made a huge impression in the short time he was with us. Sadly taken far too soon.
Good to see his family are prepared to see out the plans he had for the Club.

RIP Ron

[hibeerealist]

A genuinely nice man who always conducted himself well, the Hibernian family were always proud to have Ron lead us.

God bless.:flag:

[WhileTheChief..]

Aw man.
He had me hooked from his first interview.
His passion and enthusiasm shone through.
I was fully behind him and believed that he meant what he said.
He was a breath of fresh air.

:top marks

[Since452]

His enthusiasm for Hibs was absolutely infectious. I'm sure he'd have made us a success. The news a year ago genuinely had me choked up.

[BILLYHIBS]

Aw man.
He had me hooked from his first interview.
His passion and enthusiasm shone through.
I was fully behind him and believed that he meant what he said.
He was a breath of fresh air.

This in spades

Never in doubt

[Hibeesdaft16]

Lovely man taken far too soon.
His memory marches on.

🇳🇬

Lovely tribute to a great man.

I never met him but on the camera he came across a gentle, warm and decent person and by all accounts the same in the flesh - a breath of fresh air.

I was shocked at his passing and just wish he could come back - sadly we know that it can’t happen but let’s make sure that we never forget him 🥲

[adam middlemass]

Ron, gone from our home, but not from our hearts. Xxx

[h1bs4life]

Can’t believe it’s a year already.
RIP Ron gone but not forgotten

[Tambo]

I miss his energy, enthusiasm and positivity, which were infectious.

Hopefully in the coming years, his vision for Hibs is realised.

Spot on Pagan.

A year already, time flies.

[Cat Stanton]

Almost a year then since all the Rangers fans booed his picture at the first home game after his death. With his family present. Made me depressed to be human.

[jacomo]

The news was a real shock.

The pandemic would have made any rational person question what they had got themselves into, never mind the surrounding madness that is Scottish football, but his infectious enthusiasm remained undimmed.

Let’s all hope Hibs can realise his ambition.

[Lago]

What a lovely tribute that is.
It really is, I feel quite sad having watched it. Lovely man, God bless.

[hibee-boys]

Very touching tribute. Loved his enthusiasm and positive energy, even in the most challenging circumstances Ron led from the front and always made time to speak to fans. We are a poorer club with him not at the helm. I hope we can achieve something of note on the park to honour his legacy.

[JimBHibees]

Almost a year then since all the Rangers fans booed his picture at the first home game after his death. With his family present. Made me depressed to be human.

That was genuinely a sickening moment whent they were singing hello hello over a song to respect a guy recently died. Says everything about that clubs supporters and even more about the medias total silence to it. Imagine if it had been the other way round there would genuinely have been weeks of media horror about it.

[One Day Soon]

His intervention was gratuitous really. I can't remember any particular prior connection to the club for him that made sense, so the fact that he obviously took it to heart so much was all the more surprising.

You don't get involved in a club like Hibs to make money so something must have made him fall for it. I can be a bit of a romantic and I honestly do think that there's something quite beautiful and unique about our strip that catches the eye. And I don't imagine that watching footage of SoL being sung on 21-5-16 at Hampden would harden a heart either. Neither would owning a team in what I think is one of the best cities in the world.

Maybe the support is likeable too, in all our thrawn, long-suffering, self-deprecation.

Anyway, thanks Ron. Much missed.

[Mark05]

As others have said Ron was a great man.His passion for hibs was plain to see,I never got tired of listening to what he had to say about hibs.I just wish Ron would have lived to carry out his plans for the club.I admired Ron and I won't forget him

[Bakerman]

It was tragic what happened to Ron and for his family. Taken far too soon. He had good intentions for Hibernian FC, and he always seemed genuine, and a good guy. Tom Farmer wouldn't have entrusted the club to Ron, if he wasn't. God Bless you Ron.

[matty_f]

For all he was new to Hibs, there's no question how much Hibs meant to him.

[Jones28]

I did think Rangers fans could sink any lower.

How wrong was I?

For the short time he was with us there’s no doubt how much it meant to him to be involved at Hibs.

As other have said, there’s no better endorsement than STF.

[blackpoolhibs]

Never met him, but from what i saw and heard he seemed a very genuine guy, who really wanted the best for us.

Cant believe it's already a year.

Gone but never forgotten.:applause::applause::applause:

[Slateford Hibee]

One of the few people worth listening to, had a great vision for our club. An old fashioned gentleman missed by all.
