Hard to believe that we have known you for over 33 years. There were many laughs, a few tears and of course many, yes many beers.
You are very blessed to have an amazing family and now grandchildren to carry on your legacy. Also your extended family and large circle of friends, Wow.
Rest in peace our friend.
Love Stew & Wendy

To our very good friend Ian, we have many great memories of many joyful times that we will cherish forever. We will miss your cheeky smile and your great sense of humour and laughter. You touched the lives and hearts of many people and it was a privilege to have you as a friend. You have three wonderful respectful boys with their families, who truly shared their love for you with all of us as we celebrated your life. You did well Ian, living your life as you wanted to, enjoying the time you spent with your family and many friends. We feel blessed to have been part of your life and you will live on in our hearts.
Life is something all of us must borrow
Returning it in time, to whence it came.
Good-bye doesn't mean you're gone,
Your memory will live on.
With love and hugs, your friends Albert & Doris Selina

When I think of Ian, I have to smile. I can see him smiling back with that cheeky look. Always the same.
I met him about 1976 when I was married to Rob Hooper. He and Kath had Kelvin and Ryan, and we had a daughter Melissa. Ian and Kath were a big part of our friendship group, mainly Brits. We spent many happy times with them. They were a happy family.
We went camping up in the mountains with some other friends and had a great time.
Kath and I were pregnant together. I was due in the January and they both had Melissa to stay while I was in hospital, despite the fact Kath was 8 months pregnant. They were amazing friends and Melissa loved going over to play with Kelvin, Ryan, Tathy and funny Ian as she called him. Ian was like one of the children, happy to play with them and of course tease them as only Ian could. Melissa was very fond of him and so was I.
I last saw him in1999. Still the same loveable chap, and it was like I had seen him the day before.
I'm sorry I didn't get to see him again. He was a star and I will always remember him with joy and that cheeky smile on his face, eyes wide open.
Goodbye my friend. So glad I met you. You will be truly missed.
With love - Sue x

I first met Ian in around 1967 when he started going out with Kathy. He was the first guy I knew who owned a car so was always giving Kathy's friends lifts. It was sad when Kathy & Ian went off to Canada to start a new life although I have now visited 3 times. I remember Ian as being a fun loving guy who will be sadly missed by those close to him. My thoughts are with you all.

Fondest memories of Ian
July 31, 2013
We didn't know Ian as well as we would have liked, but on the few occasions that we did meet him, going back to his engagement and marriage to Kathy, we found him to be a fun-loving likeable person. We would like to express our deepest sympathy to all those close to him, who must be missing him terribly. Our thoughts are with you all.

We are so so sorry, and thinking of you all. I can't even imagine how hard it has been for you.
Everything I can think of to say has been said many times and is a cliche, so I won't bother.
Personally, I am trying to take comfort from the countless memories that I am left with and hope that you are able to do the same. All those vacations, camping trips, Christmases, etc. All the fruitless, calamity filled hunting trips he went on, the smell of Old Port cigars as a kid, and the weird and wonderful vehicles he seemed to find, such as folding boats and who will ever forget the Pimpmobile?! Anyone who can pull up in that with a straight face is a hell of a man in my book!!
All those wonderful memories will always be there, and I laugh even as I cry.
It was great to connect with him as an adult last time I was there. We had some very deep conversations and I know that, even though he carried heavy regrets, he was a man who loved you all so much and was very, very proud of his family.
As you know, I had hoped to get over and see him but it just wasn't possible, so many problems here to deal with. For those same reasons, I won't be able to come to the funeral but will be thinking of you all and know you will help each other through it. We bought a rose bush to plant in his memory today. It is different from the norm, slightly quirky, so seemed to fit.
I will never forget him.
Thinking of you all.
Love from Sean, Lisa, and kids.
