To the close family, friends of Iain and to my dear cousin. It’s with great sadness and it is hard to believe that we have to say goodbye to Iain. He was taken from those who love him way too suddenly and way too young. May the many wonderful memories live on strongly in everyone’s hearts and minds forever.

We’re so sorry to hear of Iain’s death.
He was a long time member and committee member of our organisation (CPRRA).
Iain always had the best interests of the Cape Paterson and Wonthaggi community at heart. It was always good to bump into him at the Cape Tavern or the fixit shed and I knew there would always be a good conversation when I did. We will miss that gentle and well meaning soul.
