Ian Carr - 11/8/56 to 1/9/22



Tuesday 27 September 2022 was a sad day. 

Ian died on 1 September after contracting E.coli that led to multiple organ failure. A very rare cause of death. Ian was exceedingly unlucky. We thought he would live for ever. His dad was amongst the mourners.

Ian appears on my trip reports for the 1970's and '80s, and he enjoyed legendary 'Minivan trips' with other friends before settling down to family life with Rona and his children, Hilary and Duncan. But he did continue to 'wander the hills' and he joined us more recently on evening walks in Cheshire, before moving to a lovely location in Arnside, where Sue and I were occasional visitors.

Ian was given the sort of farewell that may be the envy of many - a life remembered and celebrated, with very appropriate readings, photos, and music.

A sad day indeed.
