I am thankful that Ian was my friend and I will miss seeing him. It was awesome having him and his kids at our home one year for Thanksgiving. Rest in peace my friend! You were loved, appreciated and will be missed!

I met Ian when myself and my wife worked at Delta in Madison, WI. We became good friends over the years. We have helped each other out numerous times. It is shocking how life takes a hold and you lose track of time. I remember our last conversation on the phone together and it broke my heart what I was told. For all your struggles brother it deeply saddens me but gives me a small slight comfort that you are finally at peace and rest. I wish you were still here so we could talk and myself and my wife will miss you terribly!! We love you Ian May you have peace and give them hell till we see you again someday.
