Ian M. Cumming

On October 30, 2004, Ian and Annette hosted a special evening “in the caves” of the Pine Ridge Winery, Napa, CA. Guests were Ian’s Harvard Business School classmates from the MBA Class of 1970 - Section C. The occasion honored the appointment of section mate, Jim Rothenberg, to the position of Harvard University Treasurer. Thirty people attended and enjoyed gourmet food, high quality wines, and a conviviality unmatched in my memory.up to 2004.

Ian and his Leucadia National...

In the hope I am not too late, I want to attest to the giant size example of Ian Cumming as a human being, a democratic citizen, as well as genius investor and businessman. Most of all for my family he was a GREAT Canadia. We are proud of him.

Annette,

I am terribly sorry to hear of Ian's passing. My mother was nanny to the two boys in Stansbury. She has since passed as well. I know she thought very highly of Ian.

Annette: I was president of Snow College when Ian was on the Board of Regents. (We loved your home of Sanpete!) He was a perfect Board member--very bright, up on the issues, thoughtful and articulate. Most importantly, he cared and he treated all of us with utmost respect and dignity while expecting the best from us just as he gave his best!
Our love and sympathy to you and the children. We'll greatly miss this great soul.
Sincerely, Gerald And LuAnn Day

The Emanuel A Floor Family send its thoughts, prayers and gratitude for Ian's remarkable life to Annette, his sons and the family. Nan and I were in Salt Lake to welcome Ian as he brought his family to Utah to give Life to Terracor and become an advocate for all that is good for Utah and its higher Education, Ski and tourist Industry and environmental and political area He had an inquisitive mind and such clear analytical thinking that he was a natural and very effective leader in policy...

What a great loss to humanity. Ian's Legacy will affect many, both present and future witnessed by the countless number of lives he has touched. He will be greatly missed...

Dearest Annette,
We are genuinely sadden by the loss of your Ian. He blessed your life in so many ways. He was so very successful in business and in life. He was truly one of a kind. All of our thoughts and prayers are with you. You are also one of a kind.
Warmest regards,
Roger & Janet Smedley

Ian McNeil Cumming was a classmate at Harvard Business School where his presence in the classroom added to the depth of the case study discussions. He achieved success and went on to achieve significance due to his concern for others and willingness to share his time, talent, and treasure to improve his community and country. In doing so, he provided a sterling example for his peers and others. My sincere condolences are offered to Annette, John, David and other members of the Cumming family.
