Ian was a naturalist, an enthusiastic hobbyist of the natural world. He was featured on the cover of a local magazine highlighting his foraging knowledge and cooked wild edibles on The Spiel on TV. He did presentations on foraging and was a guide for foraging tours. Ian was a talented musician and played many instruments. He was active with the Libertarian Party and never met a stranger. Ian will be missed by all who knew and cared for him.
