Forumist Ian Minty dies , tragically, much too young

[Lesley Cox]

...Beautiful flowers are always picked first...

Forgive my rapid descent from the sublime to the ridiculous in this thread but your remark, John, reminds me that my late mother had a collection from the "In Memorium" column from the local newspaper. One of her favourites was "God took our flower, Our little Nell. He thought he too, would like a smell."

Edit by Maggi: this is just the sort of joke I can picture Ian laughing at!

Just found this thread. I am really shocked, so unfair, so young.....
Cannot find the right words.

My thoughts are with Ian's wife and daughters to whom he was obviously utterly devoted.

My thoughts go to his wife and daughters and hope the best for them
Kind regards
