January 24, 2023I have never come across someone with great attitude and respect for others like Ian, He was always open for good conversations and willing to help whenever someone ask. Sad to hear Ian passing. Rest in peace Mate till we meet again, sympathies to Lyn and Family.
January 31, 2023Downsey, you tall streak of duck s**t, what’s the big idea of leaving us?? I was just about to send an email to Traralgon Lodge requesting your contact details when I came across your funeral notice.
RIP Old Mate.
Hope you,ve got plenty of weed to catch those blackfish with.
From your old mate, Wolf
Sorry for your loss Lyn.
August 10, 2023Lyn. Very sad to hear of Ian’s passing. We had good fishing times in Port Hacking in the good old days from about 1978 when you were living at Loftus. Bream Whiting and blackfish we caught them all and had a great time.
I have only just come across Ian’s funeral notice, so sad.Greg
