To Barbara, Chris & Adrian, I found out about Ian's passing last evening and am sending my sympathy to you all at this difficult time.

Tying cousin Bobby to a tree at Tapu .Loving the Goon Show, Staying with Auntie Beverly Uncle Don and their Boxer Dog. Me crashing into Doug Muirs Fence at the bottom of the hill when my brakes failed. Trying on each others uniform in Herne Bay. Ian yo will live in my memories for as long as I Live. Love you Cuz even though you joined the Brylcreem Boys
