I am sorry I won't be able to attend your farewell .
R.I P Ron
My condolences to the family.

Helen, Abby, Chalise & the Shibees Pickett-Gale on 14 May, 2025 at 7:21pm (AWST)

It is with total shock and a broken heart that I just learnt of Ron's passing today.
I am devastated knowing that the world has lost someone so unbelievably selfless, endlessly giving, and immensely community-minded.
My heart goes out to the love of his life, Delia, and to everyone in the Wells family.
My thoughts are also with those who became Ron and Delia's extended family through the adoption of one (or more!!) of their outstanding dogs, and to the whole DogsWest community who are mourning this terrible loss.
I know that I'll never quite look up to the Bar from the grounds, in quite the same way, now that you're gone.
Rest in love, light and peace, Ron. You will be greatly missed.

So sorry we couldn't be there, I will always miss your smart wit and cheeky laugh, Thank you for all the memories around the rings at the dogs shows.

Condolences to family. I will miss the smile, and banter bout what slippers I had on the night to play darts. He loved my dog ones and many more. Walking in the club is missing a huge piece of the place. I.will remember our chats and laughs forever.

My sincere condolences to Delia and family. Ron was such a character, so full of wisdom and advice. Always willing to share his knowledge and lend a hand. We fondly remember many Christmas sled runs with him leading the team and spreading Christmas cheer. Diomede was my introduction to the world of Mally’s that has left its mark on our family forever. Much love to a beautiful man who will be greatly missed by many, but especially his true love, Delia.
Regards
Lynette and family

Not enough can be said for Ron Wells. The friendship, the father figure, the open welcome any time of day or night. Our relationship started when I lost my dog to cancer. I was feeling the loss hard, and Ron & Delia invited me out for puppy cuddles. And that was the beginning of it all... Days at the shows, dog training nights at the kennel club (a personal favorite), drafts (darts) in the basement, and greeting all of the dogs every time I came to visit. Christmas was always special, although Ron & Delia ensured every holiday was celebrated, even the Yank holidays! We swapped old soldiers stories, And laughed like there was no tomorrow. I'll miss these days. And I'll miss my friend. Rest well Ron, you've earned it. See you on the other side.

I will deeply miss my brother Ron and the chats and laughter we had on his birthday and mine. I am proud to have had such a wonderful brother. He will be sadly missed. Christmas won’t feel the same without our Christmas morning chats.
You will live on in our hearts for ever. Good bless Ron

Thankyou, I'll never forget training nights & the adults enjoying coffee upstairs afterwards, the few rides to country shows, breeders of my first Shiba Inu but mostly you & Delia breeding Sarla, Mums soulmate & the start to Mukluks Alaskan, I'll miss the bar drinks & chats, RIP.
Condolences to all family.

We were deeply saddened to hear of your loss. Though we only saw Ron at a few Christmas gatherings, we’ll always remember his charming smile and warm sense of humor. He was a lovely man who made those moments especially joyful. RIP.

Thank you for always making us feel welcome—Deta,Dalia and family, you’ve always been kind to us, and we truly appreciate it. Our thoughts are with you during this difficult time.
With Sympathy,

Ron was always ready for a chat, to have a laugh and give back to our hobby. He will be sorely missed by many and remembered fondly by those who knew him.
We used to love popping up for a drink at the bar and to watch some footy when Ron would donate his time so generously to our community.
Sincere condolences to Delia, Ron's family and close friends.
Thankyou Ron and may you be at peace xxx
Nick & Natasha

Such a lovely, lovely man. He never failed to amaze and entertain me with his incredible memory and wonderful stories.
New to dog showing, the first time I heard his booming voice as he called tardy exhibitors to the ring scared the life out of me. 😀.

I am proud and grateful to be able to call him my friend.
Sadly missed.
My condolences to his lovely family.

Audrey Lynch on 7 May, 2025 at 12:30pm (AWST)

To Ron,
Although I searched the world for you Ron, I did finally find you.
The 4000 miles between us, was too long, but I promised granny wells and I try to keep my promises.
I’m sorry we weren’t as close as I would have liked.
I send my condolences to Delia and all the family.
Love you cousin Ron.

It is with great difficulty that I address this matter, as it is one of the most personal and challenging things for me. The club has recently experienced a significant loss with the passing of RON WELLS, a true gentleman, last week. We are grateful for his tireless efforts as a steward and later as Chief Steward, roles he held for many years, with his distinctive voice echoing throughout the grounds. However, Ron's health struggles made traveling increasingly difficult, leading to his reluctant decision to step down, which was extremely hard for him, as he hated to disappoint others. Ron, your absence will be deeply felt. Our 30-year friendship and familial bond began when we welcomed our first Malamute, and Ron introduced Wally to stewarding. We cherish memories of our travels to Geraldton and Albany for dog shows and stewarding, where we enjoyed camping, cooking, and BBQs in the rain. Who will I watch and umpire the Eagles games with now? When Moo got sick and we didn't know if we would lose her, you were there, Ron. You are now at rest, leaving a huge hole in our hearts. Catch you later, love from us all.

David Woolhead on 2 May, 2025 at 10:10pm (AWST)

Thank you Uncle Ron for all the memories we have all enjoyed , you are a true gentleman and a loving family man you will be sadly missed by all , thank you for always being there for me and listening to me rambling. Love You RIP

From rick & I sincere condolences. Ron will be missed but not forgotten

Sharon Waho on 30 April, 2025 at 12:32pm (AWST)

Ron, your going to be so missed. Your banter and having a laugh with you will always be remembered. Your cheeky jokes, your smile always made my day. RIP.
Thinking of you Delia.

Dave Macdonald on 30 April, 2025 at 4:49am (AWST)

To Delia and family my heart felt condolences from myself and Tikaani. Everyone compliments Tikaani not only on his beautiful appearance but complete strangers notice his calmness . For thousands of years Malamutes have worked and lived with us. It's a reflection of the care and love that Ron and yourself have taken with our most loved family members. Rest Easy and enjoy your forever life with your Pack Ron .

Ann Edgar on 30 April, 2025 at 1:11am (AWST)

Ron always called my dog the fox and teased me about it. Will miss his laughter and jesting

Cheryl Hancock on 29 April, 2025 at 10:56pm (AWST)

Many thanks Ron for your dedication to the pedigree dog community in Western Australia and the running of many shows - big hugs to Delia and family.

Christine Findlay on 29 April, 2025 at 8:06pm (AWST)

So enjoyed our times at your home, lots of laughs, food and great company. Thanks for you and Delia giving me my best friend Czar and helping me to show him.

Delilah,Deta,Clive and Ashley
My thoughts are with you all on the sad passing of your Husband,Dad and Grandad
Ron, I only met him a few times but he made me feel welcome
RIP Ron

Riki Durrant on 28 April, 2025 at 8:03pm (AWST)

Though I didn't have the privilege of knowing Grandad well, it’s clear that his spirit left a beautiful mark on everyone around him. In the midst of this sadness, I hope you find comfort in the memories you shared and in the love that continues to surround Grandad's life and legacy. May his memory be a light that carries you through, and may you find peace in knowing he will always be with you in heart and spirit.
