Dad, e, yon,
I miss you.
Just one more time can you let me beat you at darts, or, pretend to let me win.
Your smile, hugs and advice, I’ll remember forever, I’ll try my hardest to do you proud in everything, I’ll swear at the TV when Liverpool don’t win, I’ll play your music, and I’ll drink the beers you missed out on.
I promise to look after Mum, Chloe and the girls, and I’ll see all the things you wanted to, thankyou for always being by my side, no matter what.

I miss you more than you’ll ever understand, but I’m glad you can be easy e again, without the pain.

Until I see you again, remember,
YOU'LL NEVER WALK ALONE.

I love you, Dad, catch ya soon!

Smiles and happy memories for such a wonderful human being You’ve left a big hole to fill Ian
Shine on bright you diamond
Love always ✨

To dear Sue and family, I am so very sorry to hear about Ian's passing. When I think of him, I remember a dark haired serious little boy following his big sister's about 😊

But I was so pleased to be able to meet him again a few years ago when he came back to the UK after his father's death, and it was lovely to hear about the wonderful life he had made in Australia and how happy he was with you Sue and his children.

It was also lovely to meet you too, when you came over shortly after Ian, you made it right for him and the love you two have between you was plain to see. I loved hearing about how you met and the life you made together 😊. Sending all my love and thoughts to you all at this time, RIP Ian 🙏

I’m so so sorry for the loss of your husband and best friend Sue😢 Matt and Chloe I’m sorry you lost your wonderful dad😢.
I have great memories of being your neighbour and friend. Such a caring, funny and sometimes grumpy bugger. He lived his life always smiling and to the fullest .
Ian was a wonderful Husband and fantastic Dad .
Keep your memories close, he will be with you always xx

To the family and friends of Ian!
Sincere condolences for the loss of Ian! Feel like I know him although only through my son in law being married to my daughter Lucy! He will be missed by you all! I’m sure he’ll be keeping an eye out for you all!
A sad time now but his memory and life will be celebrated with tears,laughter and a few refreshing beverages! I myself will have a couple to help send him on his way!
Cheers Ian
John Blackman and family
