I am so sad, that words just fail me. I've never met anyone quite like Ian before, he was a genuinely lovely man.
My thoughts go out to Clair and all his children. Your grief must be overwhelming at the moment.
All I can say is that my life was better for having known him.
Rest in peace.

My deepest condolences to the you and your family, faundy, and everyone he touched; a group I suspect includes just about everyone he ever met and a few of us he didn't.

So very sorry to hear this sad news. It is a tribute to Ian that in less than 18 hours 6 pages of posters have paid tribute to this kind man (and 1600+ have read) on this thread alone.
Most of us are 1000s of miles away and can only support you and your family from afar, just as he supported many here with his postings. I was a mere lurker back in 03 when he posted his story in the private area of the forum...and since I had not signed up I wouldnt have been able to read it then.. When I finally did read his story it was one more seed planted in my mind that showed me the way out of the WT.
I hope you and your family the best as you get through this difficult time. Losing a father is difficult, (I know I lost mine in 94). You dont get "over" it, but you will get "through" it....
Hang in there...

Steph, I just now looked at the board after a few days of not checking to see what was going on so didn't know Ian suddenly became seriously ill. Now to know he is gone is hard to fathom. This board will be a much emptier place without his input. He was always there for me when I would PM or email him asking for information about this or that to do with JWs in the UK. And we sorrowed together because of loss of family members due to WT's shunning policy. Please know how much we care and how much he will be missed. Despite the distance between us, whenever he came on the board, it was like connecting once again with an old friend. We know the weeks to come will be difficult to get through, but in time you and your mom will find comfort in warm memories of Ian in better times.
