Messages Of Condolence

Steph and I were so sorry to hear from Rob the sad news that Ian had passed away. Our friendship goes back more than 50 years to when we moved to Broughton Astley. A few years later the children arrived and our 3 became friends of Rob and Laura. We will always remember Ian as a cheerful friend and an inspiration to us all.
Rest in peace, Ian.

I’ll always remember Ian for his brilliant laugh and caring nature. The early memories sat chatting with him as a teenager in your lounge were just the best. He was a very proud and loving father to you. Sending love and our deepest sympathies. rest in peace x
