Essendon Football Club would like to extend its deepest condolences to the Jory family, following the sad passing of former player Ron Jory, aged 87.

A member of the 1945 and 1946 team, Jory played 25 matches in the red and black.

Essendon players visited Jory recently at Beechworth hospital during the club’s community camp, as seen in the video above.

Jory's uncle, Percy Jory, was a star with St. Kilda (60 games, 1912-1915 and 1920).
