Ron ChampionRon Champion
Ron Champion sadly died on 10 May 1994. He was 63. Ron was about 38 years old and presented with his LSGCM. Ron and I were Cpls together in the Staff Band at Deal in the mid 50s. He was a very fine trombone player and a great companion. We spent many good times together which eventually led to me being his best man at his marriage to Teresa. She was the daughter of the publican of The Mill Hill Public House in Deal.
Ron later transferred to the RAAF where he was, so I’m told, a great member of that organisation until his retirement on about 1985. I am sure, although somewhat late in the day, all of us who know and loved him in the Royal Marines Band Service pass on our condolences to his family.
