Remembering Ian
When we refer to the years of Ian’s life, we note that first comes the date of birth, and then more sadly the date of death. But what matters most is the
dash between those years (1939-2001), for that dash represents all the time that he spent alive on earth. Those who knew and loved him know what that little line is all about. For what matters is how we live and love, and how we spend our dash.
Ian spent his dash well. He loved all that life had to offer, and generously shared that love with his family and friends. His legacy to those he leaves
is wide and deep. Ian’s love of learning is an example to us all – he could speak with knowledge on almost any topic, and there was little he could not do and do well, whether it be woodworking, model airplane building, gardening, plumbing and wiring, or making those special dishes from his mother’s
cookbook.
Ian’s devotion is another part of that legacy. His devotion, to Jackie and the girls, and his pride in their university educations, is a fine example of
what a husband and father can be. His devotion to his job shows us what life may be when we love and value our work. That same devotion to his friends is a further
