Ronald Matheson Obituary
It is with great sadness we announce the peaceful passing of our father Ronald Ross Matheson. Born in the Scottish highlands in the town of Nairn on January 28, 1923, Dad lived an adventurous, authentic and very full life. He joined the British Royal Navy at the young age of 16, fought in three wars and received 8 medals including the Burma Star. Dad passed away on January 11, 2016 just days shy of his 93rd year surrounded by his loving family.
Sadly missed and forever remembered by his cherished wife, Isabel,
His children Andrew, Sheena, Deborah and David,
His grandchildren Amber, Matthew, Stirling, Sorina, Ceilidh and David,
And his great-grandchildren Amaia, Autumn and Alistair.
Forever in our hearts
"My heart's in the Highlands, my heart is not here, my heart's in the Highlands, a-chasing the deer" - Robert Burns 1789
