Loving and courageous to the end. Son of the late Dr. Keith O. Hutchison and Melicent Branch, O.B.E. He was married to his beloved wife Dawne Bursey, his very dear daughter Leigh Anne (Bill Huggett), his son George, his grandsons Jesse and Connor. Survived by his brother Robert (Bridget). Predeceased by brothers Alex (late Babette) and Bruce (Beverley), nieces, nephews, family and friends. He graduated from McGill Medical School in 1954 and practised at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital. With a love of the outdoors, he spent summers on the Royal Montreal Golf Course and winters on the Cross-Country ski trails and he was also past President of the International Wine and Food Society. The family wishes to express their gratitude and thanks to Dr. Roger Tabah and the staff of the ICU of the Montreal General Hospital and sister Bonnie for her wonderful support. The celebration of his life will take place on Tuesday, November 8, 2011 at 1pm at the Church of St. Andrew & St. Paul, 3415 Redpath, Montreal, Qc (corner Sherbrooke), followed by a reception at the University Club of Montreal (2047 Mansfield, Montreal, Qc) at 2pm.

Dear Dawne,
It was with heavy hearts that we received your phone call to advise us that you had lost your Ian.
Ian was a great friend,physician,and client who enhanced our lives and health for having had the pleasure of knowing him, you, and your family. We are sad he never made it here to try our cross country ski trails, and we shall miss his great sense of humour, his love of life, and his generous, sharing spirit.
We recall great times with you both at the St Andrews Ball, The University Club,The International Wine and Foods Society, Shediac, and your lovely home when we lived in Montreal. What fun we had!
Ian is in the best of hands now, and we offer Thomas Campbell's comforting line from his poem "Hallowed Ground" as a thought for Ian. "To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die."
We send all our love and sympathies to you, Leigh Ann, and Geordie.

My sympathies to the Hutchison family. I only encountered Dr. Hutchison briefly when I was a medical student at McGill, but I used to see him frequently attending M.S.O. concerts at Place des Arts (I used to sing with the chorus). As a primarily administrative physician, I always admire my colleagues who are excellent and skilled clinicians.

Dear Dawne, We share your loss and express our sympathy to you and the family. Our thanks for your friendship over the years and the leadership that you and Ian gave in hosting the medical class reunions. The value of Ian"s faith & life as a Christian is best expressed by the Apostle Paul when we read that he said "For we to live is Christ & to die is gain" Bob & Ann Paulette (class of 1954)

To the entire Hutchision family- immediate and extended- especially for Mrs. Dawn Hutchsion, daughter Leigh-Anne(Bill)and son George. I wish to take the occasion to express my most heartfelt sympathy at the loss of one of the most incredible human beings- (doctor, friend, father, gandfather, uncle) I had the honor of knowing. I had the opportunity to learn and share with him. I thank him for the time he lent me. No matter whom he met be it for just a brief time or longer, he gave of himself to that individual. The last time I saw him I kissed his hand- hands of a doctor and gentleman who was truly a rarity in todays world and who helped so many...
Loving thoughts,
Andrea Kis, Montreal Quebec
