So sorry to read of Ian’ passing, have lots of memories of our early years together. I can remember when Ian started his nurse career at Templeton Hospital all those years ago. My thoughts will be with you Chris and family on Friday. RIP Ian fly high and free, Ron Hibbs Tuatapere.
Condolences to Chris and family
Always Ian running at the Blackball School
He had some speed in the sprints winning always. It has been sometime since I bumped into in Greymouth but he was very engaging and positive
May you rest in peace Ian
