Ian HANCOCK Obituary

Tracey ~ I am so sorry to hear about your father's passing. My husband Ken and I enjoyed his wit and humor when we lived in Ft. Myers. We spent quite a bit of time with he, Annie and Amilia. Your dad even came to visit us in CO. He was a joyful soul.

Just heard about Ian's passing away today. Lovely man who loved life and was a dear friend of my husband John & I over many years - great memories.

Ian and I were class mates at Nelson Intermediate, then work mates at the IRD. I remember the party times best. Three score years and 10 doesn't seem fair, and is a reminder to live each day, that's for sure! Rock on, Ian!

Thankyou from Tracey, Brett, Gavin and family for the lovely remembrances. The family would like to acknowledge these, can you email [email protected] to let us have your email address. Thankyou so much.

I am saddened to hear of Ian's passing. When I started work at Inland Revenue in Nelson late in 1962, Ian was "the man". He inspired me, and not in all things "good", but I looked up to him and we had so much fun for the more than 2 years we knocked around together until I went to Wellington. Ian, I can never forget you and what you meant to me in those young days. Tonight I played "Abilene" in your memory. Rest in peace and I salute you.

It was with sadness I read online today the sudden passing of Ian. Gavin we are thinking of you and all your families at this very sad time.

God bless you Dad, I will love you forever and you will live on in our hearts. So grateful you could be sparkly silver foxy you to the very end of your life, but so very heart broken I will not hug you again and have more time to enjoy our life with you. Arohanui to you as you make your final journey home. Tracey and Connor xx
