It is my distinct honour to offer this tribute to our dear friend and Grand Commander Emeritus, Ronald Hendriks, GCLJ-J, who passed away on Wednesday, 11 September 2019 at the age of 74 after a courageous battle against cancer. Ron was a friend to many members of the Order and traveled extensively throughout the world to visit our jurisdictions.
We will always remember his strong, unwavering commitment to the Order and his great kindness. His human and Christian qualities and absolute dedication to the service of the Order were known and appreciated by many. We lost a special friend, a gentle giant of a man who was always willing to lend a helping hand. He was as large as life in personality, and his management skills were second to none. We greatly appreciated him, and he was very loyal, reliable and supportive.
