We were deeply saddened to hear of the loss of Ian.

We had moved from Manhattan to LI & were& still are dealing w our middle child's health problems. We went to many places seeking out a bday location & came across The Little Gym( old pt wash loc) & there was Ian who...

I went to summer camp with Ian in the late 70s early 80s. He was a picture of health and a superb athlete. Although it has been 30 years I was shocked to find out about his sudden passing. My heart goes out to his family

Jill, I wish I had words of comfort for you... It's crazy to think we just had dinner together a few weeks ago and were talking about you coming to town with him for the meetings for the next two years... I'll miss running up his bar tab and having the "can you believe you work for corporate?!" conversation. My heart is with you, the kids and Mel & Arlene. Always,
Jen

Coach Ian worked with my 2 crazy boys at the Little Gym last spring, he was a kind & patient man. I was shocked & saddened by the news of his sudden passing. I wish his family peace & love.
