So sorry to hear about Ron, I only met him a few times, when I was drumming for the Maine street band, but he came across as a very nice guy, with a real love of jazz.
please convey my condolences to his wife for me.
Mike Green.
May I add my condolences to Joyce and her many friends at Jazz at the Fell. A terrible shock to all who knew him.
George Watt
Very sad news Lance. My heartfelt condolences go out to Joyce x
Very sad to hear this, just saw Ron & Joyce last year and had a little chat about Dad the jazz scene in the north etc, even went over to Gateshead to his Jazz night had a blow with the Mainstreet Jazzmen.
You could never miss him sitting anywhere with his Beatle style haircut, great supporter of local jazz, and a lovely couple.
Will be missed
RIP
Colin Aitchison
So very sad. We treasure the hundreds of happy memories Ron and Joyce achieved at the Fell.A great loss to local jazz.
John Wilkie and Marjorie.
Condolences to Joyce from all at Ashington Jazz Club. Ron had lots of friends in jazz and will be sadley missed. He was also responsible for putting together and starting Keith Stephens trio with Caroline. Ron and Joyce came to the Elephant many times to dance to the band
John T
We were very sad to learn of Ron Pollard's demise. Joyce must be in pieces-- they were so devoted.
Ron ALWAYS supported Jazz in the North East and rarely missed our gigs. he was such a well known character and will be greatly missed by all.
Please give our condolences to Joyce--we remember him fondly.
love Annexx
