Ian David Cullen

I just remembered Ian and Mary had 3 boys, I used to look after Matt and Sean when young then Nicholas came along I stayed in the house when Nicholas was born looked after Matt and Sean dear Mary was a lovely lady my heart goes out to you all

My regards to Mary and the boys who I looked after for many years .

Dear Mary I knew you both when I looked after the boys many years ago im so sorry to hear about Ian all the best Sue spears I'm in Adelaide.

I have just found out this very sad news. He was a true friend with a lion’s heart and a genuine character to compliment it. He was my barrister in a court case in 1996 and he was more of a friend than my barrister. I visited Ian again around 2014 again a few times after that.... we had a beer together and spoke about life and his beloved father who passed away. I wrote him a poem about heaven where his Dad was. He read it with a tear in his eyes... he liked it and he told me that his father told him “ not to be too hard on himself”... Ian was An honest man with humility and such simplicity when he spoke. A rugby union fan and after he decided to stop smoking, I visited him again... his face glowed with health.
He had a great smile and so proud of his grand son, and wife... proud and happy.
May the Lord Jesus reward him with the same rewards that he rewarded others. I know that he deserves the best as Jesus is himself “ humble and meek”. Ian was that and truly intelligent and smart.
From a worldly perspective I miss his genuine friendship . Still cannot believe it. My sincere sympathies to his wife and his boys and grandchildren.
Ian and family are in my daily Divine Mercy prayers.
What a soul. Xxxx

I have just discovered this sad news. Ian was my brothers friend at uni Michael Moran. Ian visited me with Michael in hospital when I was 13 smuggling my poodle in a bag for a visit much to the horror of the nurses. I am now 64 years old and have never forgotten his kindness. Much love my friend. Trishaa Perrin nee Moran.

He was my special friend.

Condolences to family, may he rest in peace
