Ian HALLMAN

Where do I find the words to tell you how much I miss you. You were everything to me... you still are. You did so much for me... we had so much fun! We played pool together. You would pick me up on your route when you drove a truck. You would take me to your work when you would work on Saturdays and I remember playing with the typewriters and calculators... ha ha You drove me around to my friends houses, even North Van to visit Tracey after she moved. You took me to Dairy Queen when I was sad. You stuck up for me when Mom was mad at me. You were always there for me. It's hard to get used to that you aren't around anymore. I want to pick up the phone to talk about the Canucks... I catch myself then think how much I miss you. I was so proud that you were my Dad.... again I still am. I love you Dad.

My prayers are for the Hallman family and all who knew Ian. My sympathies.

My thoughts are with you all. Rest in peace Uncle Ian

Dad you taught me so many things. I'll never forget the first time you took me to trout lake and I put my ice skates on for the first time..I was hooked. You took me when I was in Gr. 9 to get my first pair of glasses, and let me get the tinting, I loved those ugly damn things. You taught me how to drive, and I got hooked on that too. You helped me buy my first car, a 1970 cherry red Maverick...and years later taught me standard after I bought that 1978 Honda accord . lol You came to sit with me in the truck while I was in labor with Shaun and comforted me. You were the first one to show me an 8track...a Ringo Starr one at that. lol. You drove me anywhere I wanted to go and I never appreciated it enough. You spent a lot of time with Shaun when he was growing up and he adored you. I thankyou for spending your down time by taking Shaun overnite for a sleepover. It helped clear my mind and rejuvenate me. I remember driving you crazy the nights Mom went to bingo. We'd beg you until you gave in and made us fudge. God you were the coolest. The truth is I loved you for a lot of different reasons, and I thankyou for being there for me . Love you Dad and give Mom a huge hug and a kiss from me. xxx
