Loving husband of 64 years to Freda, hero dad/pop/ father in law to Peta, John, Mervyn, Sue, Gazz and Sandra. Proud Grandfather to Maddii, husband Brandon, Tim, Scott, Cass, Matthew, Bonnie, Ginger and Wilson.

The cornerstone of our family, an inspiring educator, a sporting legend, an entertaining storyteller and king of the dad jokes and one liners. We love you and will never forget all you did for us.

Thanks to Dr Jo and the caring staff on Ward 4/Palliative Care at Werribee Mercy Hospital.

In accordance with Ian’s wishes there will be no funeral.

Go Pies!
