Condolence: So sorry for your loss.I knew Ian from Calgary for many years and considered him my friend.He willed be missed.

Condolence: We are very sadden to hear about Ian's passing. We loved going on vacation, hiking, parties, etc. with Ian. Ian was a very gentle and kind soul. If you ever wanted to know something that none of the rest of us knew about - Ian was your guy. His knowledge about sports, etc. was simply amazing. You always felt a better smarter after speaking with Ian because he always enlightened you with some trivia. Our thoughts are prayers are sent to the family during this difficult time. Ian be missed.

Condolence: We are extremely saddened by Ian's passing. He was such a kind, humble, and thoughtful man. Our lives are richer because we knew him. Allan and I will miss Ian greatly. Our deepest condolences to his family.

Condolence: I wish to express my sympathies to the family for the loss of Ian. Even though I did not know him personally, it grieves the heart to lose a loved one, who loved family and life. It seems that we are never ready to pass away, which shows that our Creator, Jehovah, did not purpose life to end. So a comforting hope from the Bible says "the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs (in God's memory) will hear his voice and come out . . . to a resurrection of life." (John 5:28, 29) And the promise when God "will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more . . . nor pain be anymore" in the Paradise to come, right here on earth. (Revelation 21:4) Please accept these thoughts toward the family.

Condolence: Sincere condolences to Ian’s family. He will be remembered as a very kind and gentle soul.

Condolence: Susan, Nancy and families So saddened and shocked to hear of Ian's sudden passing. Know that our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time. Hadn't seen Ian for many years until a family function earlier this year. Warmed my heart to know he was a cat person! Take care and he will live on in your memories.

Condolence: Dear friend, you can not imagine how saddened and shocked I was to hear that you are gone. I have been thinking of you for days. I intended to pull out my old photo albums and refresh old memories, but found the memories came flooding out all around me. Perhaps surprisingly, I have been smiling and laughing more than I have been crying. Thinking of your dry humor, your many opinions on just about everything, your very good knowledge of trivia ( and perhaps your less than stellar play at Scrabble) , always kept me well entertained. Your home was warm and inviting (a true reflection of you), and I've just now realized I probably owe you a million meals that I can not repay. I am so glad you made it home to be with your family. My heart goes out to your family, they have lost so much. As for me, I am just thankful to have called you a friend and that you taught me at least 2 things: 1. cats do deserve to drink out of crystal glasses; and, 2. cats really do like eating green olives. Be well old friend.

I hope each of you has a special memory to cherish, just as I do.
