The memory of Ronny I will take with me is from many years ago when we were both        starting out as sample catchers on a rig. We worked opposite shifts and collected samples    from a shaker board for bagging and geological analysis from the shakers, a very dirty and noisy  area of the rig. One day the board disappeared down into the ditch below and we     had to get it back. Ronny put a rope round his waste and retrieved the board, I pulled him out with the rope. I will always remember him covered in mud from head to foot but with   this huge smile on his face, we had succeeded with his idea. Always calm, always ready to help and to listen to other people, a great colleague and a great person
