Ian was a good friend to all who knew him. Nobody could say a bad word. He never had a bad word to say about others. His persona was more tuned into concentrating on the positive things in life.
Always a pleasure to have around and would brighten the dull moments. Such a shame. Sad time for his two girls. The moment Ian entered a room the ambience would change to a happy one. Always a big smile on his face and the friendliest of welcomes.
A rare person to know. Beautiful man through and through. He will be missed by everybody.
