Dear Beth, I was just looking up Ian's phone number to call and wish him a happy birthday. Instead, I found his obituary; I am at a loss for words. I am truly sorry for your loss. Ian was a wonderful, kind and caring gentleman. I will miss him dearly.

John,
I am very sorry to hear about your brother Ian. There were may happy memories of times spent with you and your family. Ian was fun-loving with a great sense of humour. I know he will be greatly missed. My heart goes out to you and all your family.

I am so sorry to learn of Ian's passing. He was my 'twin' when we were children as we were born within hours of each other on the very same day, November 16, 1957. We attended each other's birthday parties, spent many fun-filled weekends with our families at Sechelt and on Hornby Island, and were good friends when we were little. I am saddened that his life was cut short and send sincere condolences to his family.
