My deepest condolences to Ian’s family. Ian was my top salesperson at our dealership Cedar Hills Pontiac Buick Cadillac GMC Inc. When you bought a vehicle from Ian you always came back when you needed to replace your ride. All of our employees were like family. Ian’s smile was contagious. He loved life and gave so much back to this community. He will be missed.

Sorry to hear about Ian’s passing, the McEachren family was always close with my family (Sharpe’s) when they lived on Bell Air Dr in Bolton.

Ian was always a character, lots of laughs and fun..maybe a few toddy’s along the way.
Ian and Marilyn, thanks for spending many hours with my parents either, on vacation, playing cards, or just chatting it up on the porch while we played hide and seek!

Rest in peace Ian.
Lots of love and hugs to the McEachren family, we are thinking of all of you!
