It is nice to know that people still think about ARH and that he will never be forgotten. I am also pleased that his models have been kept by members of the family and that they too will always have something to remember him by.

Outstanding work, and tribute. My condolences for your loss my friend.
If there is a heaven, I hope he (and later maybe me) are building models there.

From Ron's good friend Nick Jellicoe It was an enormous pleasure to have known Ron, but I'm sad that it was only for such a short time. I think we would have become very good friends. He was clearly a special person. For many people, old and young. What I loved about Ron was that he could be many things. Quiet and unassuming, always enthusiastic and ready to help, persistent and meticulous in his work and just a lovely person to be around. I feel very honoured that he gave his beloved Iron Duke to the family and hope that we will do Ron's memory justice when the Centenary is upon us. He was, and will remain, a great source of inspiration to very many people all around the world. Rest in Peace, Ron. We will all miss you, Nick Nick Jellicoe

It is nice to know that so many people still think about him, how he helped them, praised and encouraged them, so he will always be remembered.

Re: In Memoriam ARH |

Already a year.... That is a great collection. I remember him as a kind man, always helpful with ideas when needed. I only knew a small portion of his collection, the last ships, as shared on this board. I saw the occasional reference he made to other ships, like his Perseus, but of course have never seen these ships. It's great to see this large collection of ships he built. A great tribute for sure, the board has become more silent without him!

Tiny,
Like many others, I wasn't aware that the Admiral had passed. I thoroughly enjoyed following his posts because he was a phenomenal builder and on the occasion when he posted favorable comments on my own postings, I felt a sense of acknowledgment that perhaps in a small way, I was measuring up to his level. He was one helluva great chap and the world is a little less bright without him.
My deepest condolences,
John
