Ian, On behalf of the New Zealand Open family we send our deepest condolences to your family. Your passion and energy you brought to everyday was inspiring and we deeply appreciated your contributions through Tap Water Wells to make our tournament a more sustainable event. I always enjoyed our rides in the golf cart navigating around the courses at Millbrook and chatting about our family and life adventures. Rest in Peace my friend, Much Love, Ben

My condolences to Madeleine and family. I really liked Uncle Ian, he was a good, kind and honest man. I looked forward for his stays with me, when passing through Palmerston North and later on in Wellington. He’d proudly tell me stories of what his family were up to. Rest in Peace Uncle Ian, you deserve it and I will miss you.
