One of the sharpest of wits and retorts here, and I know was an icon in the 1 CER family. RIP.

Damn. Seriously...just damn.

I'd never met Ian, but I genuinely always enjoyed reading his posts and chatting with him on here for the past decade or so.


I'll actually really miss him. I'm sorry to hear this news.

Never met Kat, but that photo of him in uniform, with a big smile, is a nice way to remember him.

Thanks for posting it.

For those wondering if there will be a service for Ian,

From Chelsea Stevens (Ian's daughter)

"I know there are a lot of people who would like to know about a service for our dad.
Dad never wanted a funeral service and we have decided as a family to respect his last known wishes.
We have discussed having a celebration of life at a future date. Some time is required for the family to manage.
Thank you to everyone for your condolences."

I always found his input to discussions here valuable, including when he disagreed with me and caused me to reconsider my own positions. A sad loss for our community here.

RIP, Sapper.

I am a better person for have knowing him, and am lessened by losing him. I will raise a pint or few to him.

 

[rmc_wannabe]

Definitely had a sharp wit, a keen eye for BS, and was quick with a sarcastic response. I have only ever interacted with him on these forums, but he definitely was one of a kind and I will miss him

Crews set off a network of linked explosives to break down the largest remaining span of the collapsed Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore — and with a boom, the steel section came down.

Saw this and immediately thought of Kat. Raising another pint to his memory.
