ABBOTT Ronald ‘Lindsay‘:
Just to let you know I’m gone.
I journeyed somewhere on Saturday 31st May 2025, not sure where to, god only knows. But it will not be wings or halo.
I hope it is to a babbling brook, complete with sunshine, shelter and grassy banks where I can pit my wits against a wily trout. If I catch him, I release him, like me Tommy trout is a free spirit.
I just want to say thank you to family and friends for love, support and care over the years.
If you have the time there will be a Celebration of Life Service for me on Saturday 7th June 2025, 10am in J Fraser and Sons Chapel.
Like me, it will dare to be different. Cheers and cares to all you that have impacted my life. Kindest Lindsay.
