Sarndra, Greer, Jazz and families.                                                                              We are so sorry to hear of Ian's passing. An awesome guy gone way too soon. Bruce first meet Ian as a 11 year old at Devon Intermediate and his sense humour was obvious way back then. Later they played rugby for Spotswood Old Boys and then Ian was known as Dimps.  Bruce was privileged to have Dimps as his plumber for many years and he was loved by all the subbies and clients. Dimps always made work fun and lighthearted. Subbies loved extended smokos when Dimps was on the job as they were always full of humour and laughter.  When we last saw Dimps in July before we left for our holiday we were still amazed with his strength and courage  in dealing with such a debilitating condition.  We wish we could be there to help celebrate Ian's life. We will be there in spirit and honour him with "Dimps´ jandal day". Dimps you are a true legend.  Sending much love to you all   Bruce and Valda (currently in Crotia )

To Sarndra, Greer, Jaz and families. My heart it so sad for all of you with the passing of Ian. He was one "of the good guys" and has been taken far too soon. I wish I could be there to say a final goodbye to my cheeky, fun loving, kind hearted cousin but I will be there in spirit. I am sure there will be some interesting stories told. I will raise a glass or two in his honour.
Sending love to you all.

Sarndra,Greer and Jaz so sorry to hear of Ians passing, we have fond memories of our time together, the fish and chip nights, mimi at the beach. What an amazing husband and father who cherished his family like no other

To the Garner family. So sorry to hear of your loss. Sending loving thoughts, Linda and Glenn Lowen

Loved brother in law of Trish and Peter, fun uncle of Kirsty, Jade and Cory. His theory on the physics of plumbing to his nephews was absolutely hilarious. Only the whitebait in the Te Henui will be the happy ones here. Our thoughts are with you Sarndy, Greer and Jaz he will be sooo missed.

Deepest condolences to you all. Ian was a family friend from our days in Lawry Street. After all members other than my Mum and I (Elwyn Barr) had passed away, Ian was absolutely wonderful with Mum even taking her out on her mobility scooter as she lacked confidence. Our love and thoughts are with you all.
