Ian you will be dearly missed by many of your Time Warner Cable family as well as the many people you have touched outside of your work life. No matter what kind of day you were having everyone always knows you for always wearing a smile, and I'm sure you are looking down on us all with that same smile. Prayers go out to your family as I know this is a huge loss for them all.

Ian was my younger brother.. He will never be forgotten. He was like no other. He was a wonderful son, brother, uncle, dad; and man. He smile would brighten up the room as his eyes would twinkle. Losing a love one is hard. Now he is in a better place looking
over us from the distance, because he can.
