John Patti and family. I’m thinking of you as you go through this difficult time.

So sorry to hear of Ian’s passing. He was a fine fellow and great neighbour. Thinking of Shirley and family at this time. With regards from your Mews family.

Shirley, Karen , Janet , John and your families,
Extending our sincere sympathy to all of you at this difficult time. We were so fortunate to have such wonderful next door neighbours on the Parr Line! My dad (Laird) and Ian often helped each other out as needed. Dad curled with Ian . Ian always had a smile and a quiet manner .
I remember attending the Belmore Syrup Festival with you. We went on a hay ride. Janet threw her mitts in the snow. Ian did get a tad upset as we had to stop the wagon and pick up the mitts. I should have not let her do that .
Cherish your memories! We will be keeping all of you close in our thoughts and prayers.

Sincerely,
Doug and Sharon Kyle and Mary Jacobe

My sincere condolences to you on the loss of a dear husband,father and community leader. I first knew Ian when he was Assistant Agricultural Representative in Kent County when I was actively involved in 4 H Beef Clubs and Junior Farmers. How fortunate I was to continue that friendship when I married and moved to Huron County in 1961.Ian was not only a wonderful family oriented person but a leader in our community as he served on numerous committees and boards. He was a wise, kind and caring person who will be missed by many.

Dear Shirley and family,
Our sincere condolences to you and your loved ones. Allen will miss all the stories and memories that Ian shared with him over the short period of time that I knew him. We will miss his sense of humor and genuine interest in Diezel every time we walked by and he was sitting on his front porch.
The Mews has lost one of it’s founders and a fine gentleman!
Blessings and prayers, may he rest in peace!
Allen and Penny Beacock

Ian’s warmth and intellect was greatly appreciated for many years. I will miss the bets for pizzas when Guelph squared off against Western on the football field. Rest In Peace.

Shirley, Karen, Janet, John & families;

Our sincere sympathy in the passing of your dear husband, father and grandfather. I will always remember Ian as a very kind and generous man. He (and Shirley) were always very welcoming whenever I visited the family farm as a young lad to see my friend John. I well remember and appreciate fun trips to the International Plowing Match and Ontario Place with the McAllister family with “Mr. McAllister” at the wheel. He contributed greatly to our local community and our broader society.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time.

Mark & Julie Heimrich
