Hello Noeline - sorry to learn of Ian's passing. You will miss your soul mate terribly and he will leave a huge gap in your family circle.
Ian was a real character and always willing to help when needed. We appreciated his security duties, help with the hedge and piano accordion sing alongs at Arrowtown, it hasn't been the same since you guys left!
Love & Memories Live Forever and we hope these are a comfort to you all both now and time to come.
Thinking of you and your family at this difficult time.
Ross & Bridget Wilson, GORE

Condolences to Noeleen, Barry, Stewart, Grant, Craig & extended family. There is a missing link in your family now, and also in the lives of those who knew, and loved Ian. (Willy). Always there to help others with a smile. Remembered for his love of gardening, story telling, sense of humour, witt and pride for his wife, boys & grandies. Rest in peace Ian, until we meet again.

Dear Noelene
I have just found the notice of Ian's passing and am very sorry to learn of your loss. Photos of you both often pop up on my computer screen of the time Ian brought his harvester over to help us out with blackcurrant harvest. The years we spent working together are great memories. Please accept my sincerest sympathy. My thoughts are with you and your family.
