  3. Ian was one of my Cubs in 1965 and was part of a guard of honour at our wedding in 1967. As a teenager he worked on our farm during hay season.
    He was always a pleasure to catch up with when he came to Leongatha. A gentleman fondly remembered. Warmest thoughts to all his family, remember the good times.
