Don't know really what to say other than its especially tragic for his family

Rest in peace Ian.
OMG, heard about this accident on the local news, it never crossed my mind that it was Ian :shock: don't think i've ever met a guy with such enthusiasm for life.

Wierd and grim news. :(

Had some good chats with him on the europe trip and have stayed in touch on FB -Ian had lovely chilled and positive attitude to life, and of course that infectious grin. Hope you are on the other side mate, driving Rita along endless perfect roads..

I'm absolutely stunned and really saddened by this. I only reponded to Ian's facebook friend request a couple of days ago. What a lovely bloke. My thoughts are with his family.
