I worked with ian whilst he was at Wakefield. Ian was an absolute gent in every sense of the word & always made me feel appreciated. He is the only person I know who shares my birthday. A true Scorpio. He will be sadly missed

It is some years since we last met Ian due to living at opposite ends of the country. However, we valued his determination to keep in touch with family through his annual Christmas card. He really will be missed.

We hadn’t known Ian that long, we’d just moved in to the area and were greeted by two fabulous people who made us feel so welcome. I don’t think you need to know someone a lifetime to know what character they are and Ian was without a doubt a lovely gentle kindhearted man who we will miss.

Ian, a true gentleman and one of the 'Bells' crowd who have all stayed in touch and met up whenever we could. You were far too young to go and will be very much missed by us all.

We were mates in the mid sixties, and although we lost touch for a few years, we had some great times, sailing in the Greek islands just one of them. Miss you mate. Pete

Ian looking confused as to how he ended up in the middle as when we rode he was always ‘Tail End Charlie’. I will miss our runs out to Seaways, Squires and the Wednesday Lincolnshire Bike Nights…… always ended at the ‘Scottish Restaurant’ for a McFlurry!

Ian I only met you a few times but seen the write up from the police which you were a credit to the service and a very successful career but I think your biggest success was marrying Jo and making her so happy.

A fantastic colleague to work with and such good fun as PSU instructors. Set fire to each other weekly. Serious on the outside….but it was only hiding the many laughs and japes.
