RIP Ron Smith

[TrianonDave]

Sad news again, seems villa are good at this but Dean Smiths Dad, Ron passed away today. RIP.

He had been suffering with Dementia for the last 8 years. Strangely enough, the care home said he had contracted Covid19!

I remember Deano saying only this time last year after the Wembley win, his father was seriously ill and did not know who he was, very sad. My Mother went the same way.

Another Holte Ender in the Sky😔

For the luckiest among us, our Fathers are our heroes. I lost my hero 2017, still miss his advice and love.

R.I.P. Ron Smith, my thoughts are with your family.

Some lovely words, Exiled.

I was so sorry to read about the death of Ron Smith from Coronavirus. My sincere condolences to Dean and his family.

Dave, it sickens me to the stomach that "we" have allowed this to happen to our most vulnerable in society. Of course, we can never cocoon people completely, but we could have done better. They deserved it.
