Not sure what to say?

The news of Ian's death saddened me greatly. I had the privilege to have Ian as a student at Cornell Law School, and he was a standout in intellect and character. His passing is a loss for us all.

I only met Ian once, but from the moment he entered the room I could tell he was a great guy in every respect. I´m sad that I didn´t have more time with him. RIP Ian.

Reading this memorial, I am encouraged to learn Ian lived his life much as he fought his illness--with the courage of his convictions. My deepest condolences to Rochelle.

Ian was the most generous soul and the best host dad any au pair could ask for. He made us feel part of the family with random bits of knowledge about any and everything, by buying us chocolates for Valentine’s Day and giving us boxes of Girl Scout cookies. It was an honour to have lived in his house.
