MESSAGE: I would like to second the thoughts and thanks Bryan Webster
posted recently regarding the service Ian provides us all to mourn the
loss of all our YOUNG collegues who have passed away over the last few
years. Whilst it is shocking and painful for those left behind. We must
remember we have for the most part lived hard and played hard, this is
when we laughed the most. For that is the nature of this business and most
of us would not have had it any other way. For our fondest memories are
of the times we were working hard or playing harder and for all those who
have passed that is how I will remember them laughing.
