Dear Kathy and family,
We were so sad to read of Ian's recent death and our thoughts are with you at this time.
As students, we spent alot of time together both at varsity and away tramping. Although we have had little contact for the last 50 years, he has still been in our thoughts and memory.

May your memories and years together help you through the months and years ahead.

My condolences to you Kathy and the rest of your family. Mr T was such an incredibly kind man, I truly appreciated everything he taught me and I will miss seeing him popping into the office in his red knitted sweater or in his sandals after a walk. Thinking of you and the family, all the best.

It is with a heavy heart Kathy, that we write to you having lost your best friend, your sole-mate. Ian was an incredibly lovely man, with a quiet demeanour & wicked sense of humour. You have both been thru some tough health times & for him to be taken so soon is truly saddening. Sending you Kathy all our love & thoughts & know that he lives on in your children & grandchildren. Remember the good times & know that he will not be forgotten.
