My deepest sympathy on your loss. I used to work with Ian in Hermosa Beach, California back in 1976. He was a great friend and a great dance partner on Saturday nights back in my single days. I have many fond memories of him and Wayne and although I never met his family from Canada, I know he loved them very much. My prayers are with you.
