Ian, you are just so desperately missed. At Friday breakfast and many other times too.
Sandra and your beautiful girls are of course in grief and mourning as are your close friends, but they and all of us know in our hearts that you are now in a beautiful place, and that we have faith that we will all join you there in the future. God bless you Ian, you have helped me and so many others on our journey of life.
My heart is breaking for all of you. Such an exceptional man, an inspiration, a shining beacon of our Heavenly Father, a man of humility, compassion and humour. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. RIP Ian, you have been a good and honourable servant. Thinking of all of you in this time of sadness. ❤️
Such a lovely man who was passionate in serving others. His positivity and enthusiasm was so good to see. And I know it was all an out working if his belief, experience and continuous deep relationship with God. The world was a better place because Ian was here and made such a difference to soooo many people’s lives daily. He encouraged so many people in many different ways! I am grateful to have known him. Much love to Sandra, Kirrily, Belinda Rachel and families.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you Sandra & all the families at this sad time!
Ian and I met some 30 years ago and although we didn’t always stay in touch, his strength of character is something I have always remembered and will never forget!
God Bless You Ian!

Sandra and all the family. The Richards clan extend our deepest sympathy to you all. Ian was a great friend to all of us especially when all our girls were growing up. We all have many fond memories to hold and thank God for his talents and many gifts he shared with so many.
Our condolences to you Sandra and your Family. Ian and yourself were there for Dad and Mum even though Victory had abandoned them. You visited Dad at home and, when he joined Mum in the Aged Care Facility, visited and shared communion with them. True friends in Christ, ministering to the vulnerable and often invisible and forgotten people in our society. We saw Ian as an exceptional man and teacher. He lived as he believed and has left an indelible mark on all who knew him. Our eternal thanks to him for the love and grace he showed. Our love to you , your girls and their families. Geoff and Robyn Stephens, John and June Dunell.
Deepest condolences to Ian’s family. He was a wonderful funeral celebrant and it was a privilege to work with him on many funerals. Keep practicing the guitar, so glad you enjoyed it.
Very sad to hear of your passing, an inspirational man. RIP and condolences to his family.
