Ian you were a wonderful well rounded Engineer who started me on my journey at Rosehill College towards becoming an Engineer and finally achieving my Master´s degree. Allowing me to work in my lunchtime in the Metal Work Shop developing a lifelong passion with Engineering. You were a very patient man who was well respected by your Pupils.
I still clearly remember your stories you told us about previous industry experiences. You, Mr Hooper, Mr Lawrence and Mr Mogford set some wonderful examples to your Pupils.
May you rest in Peace and thank you for making our lives just that little bit better.
