Ian got up every day and worked so hard to make the world a better place, for his family, his community, for everyone in Scotland. He had time, energy and compassion for everyone I saw him meet, no matter who they were. As a colleague and boss he showed huge amounts of patience which I’m sure I tested regularly! He encouraged and supported me at Paths for All for 13 years, I never saw him lose his temper or act out of anger. He was a true role model through and through and I will miss him terribly.

Ian, thank you for your friendship, I hope you’re enjoying a stunning west coast sunset, with the sand between your toes and a cold beer in your hand.
