Lovely service Kim – RIP Bubbles.
Kim, Meg, Stew and Jack.
Ian was a truly remarkable person who really did care for those around him.
He was a great man who always had the time and love for my family, we’d be graced by his presence every birthday, Xmas and nearly every Sunday evening he’d stroll in, my 2 boys would be crawling all over him rubbing his prickly head as he read them a book.
We had the pleasure of having Ian as part of our family which we will always cherish!
He was a truly amazing man and will be missed by all that had the pleasure of meeting him.
Kim and family, our sincerest thoughts to you as you say goodbye to dearest Bubbles – we remember him fondly and how happy he always was.
And we remember his stories.
Such a beautiful send off for Bubbles today.
He won’t be forgotten xo
Deepest condolences Kim and Meg Jack and Stuart.
What a beautiful celebration of Ian’s life.
Last time I spoke with him, all he talked about was your children Kim he adored them totally.
All the old pics brought back lots of wonderful memories.
Rest in peace Ian x
Will always remember the kindness and compassion
you showed both myself and my girls.
A true gentleman, adored by your niece and nephews and your sister Kim.
Sending our love and thoughts to Kim, Meg, Stuart and Jack xox
RIP Ian 🙏

My thoughts are with your loving family.

Ian was the most caring and compassionate person I have had the privilege to call my buddy. His laughter and sense of humour was contagious. Our weekly get togethers were always a highlight for both of us. My life has been changed forever by knowing him. It has been an absolute privilege buddy.
Dear Ian “bubbles”
Your resilience, positive attitude and never say never attitude was an inspiration.
Gone too soon but that’s what happens to the good ones
Thinking of you all at this sad time.
May Bubbles now RIP and hope there is comfort from knowing he is.
Luv and hugs to all the family and all who loved Bubbles ❣️❣️
