Ian was inspiringly happy in life. His death was a great sorrow for all of us in my family and in Applied Environmental Technologies (AET, Inc). Ian is missed by all of us, alive in our hearts, and always in our thoughts. We send our deepest condolences and love. Emanuel Pedram

Wendy...we've been out of touch for so many years but you've been on my mind a lot lately. I googled you and learned of Ian's passing. I am very sorry for your loss and know your inner strength will help you through this most difficult time.

Ian Macfarlane a very private and quiet man with a slight smile on his face all the time. He loved his family very much! Wendy, Sarah, Alison, Ian Jr and other family members sorry for your lost, he will be missed.

Wendy, I am so sorry for your loss. Your family will be in our prayers.

I was so sorry to hear about Ian's death. Wendy, my heart goes out to you and your girls, Ian's family, and his sister Heather whom I have known for over 20 years. I cannot imagine the shock, grief and pain you are all feeling. Thank God you made the decision to retire early Wendy, to have such precious time that you had no idea would be cut so short. Blessings to you and your families.

Ian was my partner and friend from 1989. We started our business together 22 years ago. It was very sad that Ian died at such an early age. He retired 2 years ago to enjoy his family. We were sorry that he retired because we worked so well together. On behalf of my family and the officers and employees at Applied Environmental Technologies (that Ian helped start), our sympathy goes out to Wendy and his children.

Ian's passing left a huge hole in the hearts of many. I can only imagine the pain that Wendy and the girls feel, even now. Ian was my friend, and I will miss him, his humorous approach to most things, and his ever present smile. His loss was truly a shock!

I met Ian 47 years ago. I considered him my best friend. Ian and I spent many days in the ocean, diving and body surfing and belly boarding. Ian was responsible for getting me hired at Dames and Moore as a marine biologist in 1976 and again at McClelland Engineers in 1982. Ian was the best man at my wedding in 1982. We worked together for the last 36 years. We experienced many ups and downs through those years. I always respected Ian as a mentor and good friend. My best wishes go out...

We had some fun times at the Camarillo house (especially when sheep were involved) and shooting things at Levyland, but nothing was more obvious about Ian than how much he loved, and would have done anything to protect, the three most important women in his life - Wendy, Sarah and Alison. I know your hearts are broken in pieces, but I hope you are able to keep some comfort from the love that you shared. My heart goes out to you. Godspeed Ian; yours was a life well-lived.
