Had many a great time with Ian in our younger days after leaving school. Spent some great times with both parents at Whangarae Bay. Spent a lot of my time at his home in the Rai. Remember the day i spray painted the old truck green. He, Ian always rang me to see how I was and his first few words were, how's your knees. This phrase i will never forget. Rest in peace old mate.

It was lovely to see the mail boat - Rongatea. Brought back memories for me of it at the wharf in Okiwi Bay. I stayed with Ab Simpson - my grandfather.

To Sue & Family,
I am so sad to have lost my lovely Cousin Ian, and my sympathy goes to you all. I will miss Ian's phone calls and his caring visits. So kind and so dependable. We shared an interest in our family history and spent many hours sharing
family stories from years ago.
Bless you Ian I miss you already.
Anne.
