The Mount Alexander Shire Accommodation and Respite Group (MASARG) has lost a kind and gentle soul. Ian’s contribution over many, many years was immeasurable and we will forever mourn his passing. The sudden loss of an adored husband, father and favourite of the Castlemaine community for over four decades is a great sadness indeed. We send our deepest sympathy to our beloved Heather and of course to James, and to David and his family.
I only learnt today that IAN had died suddenly in March.
I have such fond memories of him from our time together many years ago – Co-op days, the Indian and Ducati motorbikes and so skilled at building and creating.. thank you Ian.
He lives on in his children and grand children and all that he contributed to his community.
Sincere condolences to Heather and all the family.
