Wish you could have been there on Monday to see how much you meant to so many people. You may not have got the work life balance right all the time , but I can now appreciate the camaraderie. It was so lovely to see so many friends from my former life with you. You’ll definitely live on within our children and grandchildren.
Rest in peace.

Ian was a great friend to me & my family and such a kind and caring person. He’s someone that has been around my whole life and always made the effort to visit and keep in touch. We’ll all miss Ian immensely but will always remember the many good times we shared with him.
