Our heartfelt thoughts are with you.

Sad to hear this news. Great memories of Sharon’s “uncle” Ian in our young people’s days. While we didn’t see one other often in our adult years, we will always have those good memories. We are sorry we won’t be at the service, but we will be thinking of you all and praying for comfort at this time.
My heartfelt sympathy to Ian’s family. He was a joy to work with at London Life, and gave us many happy memories.
Ian was my friend though not in the way that most people would define that term. We were “gym buddies.” We’d meet up at Good Life every Monday, Wednesday and Friday and would take time out from our routines to chat. I can’t claim to have known Ian well, but I knew him well enough to know everything that was important, everything that I needed to know about him — that he was gentle, warm, kind, generous and friendly; that he never had anything bad to say about anyone; that he loved his family more than anything or anyone; that his dog and woodwork and country music enriched his life. We talked about the world and about life, about the challenges of being a good parent and I got lots of useful tips from Ian on that score. He told me of the trips he would take with his wife and of the immense pleasure he got every time he spent time with one of his children or better yet with the whole clan. Ian wasn’t famous but he was important — a kind, decent, caring man in a world increasingly starved of those things. I will miss my gym buddy and the world is poorer for his passing. I am so grateful that I was able to share a fragment of his life with him.
I worked with Ian at London Life. We ate at the same lunch table every day.
My last day at London Life Ian walked to the parking lot with me. I can still see him standing in Victoria Park making sure I was okay.
Ian was a kind, gentle person.
