Just returned from holiday to hear of Ian's passing. Will always remember flatting and working with Ian in CHCH, in our NAC days, more than 50 years ago.

45 years of knowing you Ian. Will miss the phone chats and the humour. Never knew anyone else who could stand behind a coconut tree and not be visible! Love to Val, Mark and Greg and families

A great neighbour and special friend. No more chats and brandies on the way home.

Ian was a great guy, with a great sense of humor, and a generous nature. He was always great to be around and as one of mark's friends from school, kind to us all.

Ian, You will be very much missed at the Airline Club lunches at Wairau Rd. You were much respected in Airline circles and your many airline friends mourn your passing.
