Hearing that Ian has passed away brings great sadness to me. Ian was one of the first people I worked with as a junior doctor. He was always very supportive and cheerful when we needed a helping hand and he became one of my favourite people to work with. I want to thank Ian for helping me get through my difficult on call shifts during my first year working in the hospital. I will remember him throughout the rest of my career and offer my deepest condolences to his loved ones.
