Ian and Jean spent many happy retirement years together. They both became Coast Guard certified and traveled in their RV, towing their sailboat, to many destinations and experienced many memorable adventures. They traveled abroad many times. Their greatest joy came in being an active part in all of their grandchildren's lives; including winter ski trips, summer sailing trips, and taking all of their grandchildren to England. In recent years Ian felt truly privileged that he had lived to see his great-grandchildren born and experience their growing young lives. He is preceded in death by his beloved wife, Jean and his son, Robert Gregory. A private family service will be held in honor of his life. May he rest in eternal peace.
