An emotional Memorial Service took place this afternoon, during which family members and Vern Wilkinson reflected on a life led to the full, with great benefits to immediate family, sport, innumerable school children and educational staff over more than 40 years. Vern concentrated on Ron's role as Acting principal of Doveton and Executive leader of the Doveton Cluster of schools at a time when Principal Vern was serving the role of President of the VPPA. He could not have left the school to a more able and conscientious Deputy. Ron was a dedicated educator and retired as Principal of Mulgrave PS a couple of years ago.
Jenny, your reflections on your married life with Ron, was a wonderful tribute. The promises to "look after Jenny" were numerous and fulfil Ron's dearest wish.
