Doreen – Alice and I were so sorry to get the phone call from Hobbie about Ian.
We all had interesting and fun times together over the Kellogg years.
Alice and I are keeping well and would love to have seen you, but unfortunately will be driving from our cottage to north of Ottawa on Monday so will be unable to get to Egan.
Our thoughts are with you.

To the Forbes Family: So sorry for the loss of your father/grandfather. It was great to see Ian at Robbie & Melanie’s shower last Sunday and Rick enjoyed the long conversation he had with him. We didn’t know him really well, but always felt he was a kind and caring person. Hopefully time will help put your deep sorrows behind and leave fond happy memories.

Our condolences go out to the family, Ian was a dear friend and always happy to be with friends, he was a logical man with practicle advice, one of the best pieces of advice that he gave to me and i would like to pass it on was, ” Do It While You Can”. wether it be going on a trip, spending time with loved ones, or having a cheer. God Bless Ian.
