It's so hard to find adequate words to respond to such a tragic & untimely loss. I rue the opportunities to meet Ian which his illness scuppered in recent weeks but am glad I spoke with him on the phone, albeit on a mundane matter. Personally I'll miss his company which was always good. He was a kind man & though relatively quiet, I doubt I ever left his company without having learned something from him.
