Ian's sister, Diane O'Gorman, had ALS, but died of an aortic aneurism last summer. His uncle, Ron Sanderson of Oakville, also died of ALS.

His daughter wrote him a letter and he said he cried every time he read it. The man, with the stalwart family and friends, also had strength in his quiet, peaceful manner.

"His infectious smile and sparkling blue eyes continued to enchant all he met right to the end. ALS took up only a small portion of his life, the rest was so much more," said Jody. Ian left his mark on the young Scouts he mentored, the kids he coached, the neighbours he helped, the people with whom he worked and worshipped. "Ian's passion was the outdoors -- Algonquin Park his own personal playground. He was never more at home than with a trip planned, a full backpack and his canoe strapped to the roof of his truck," said Jody. "Ian's deepest joy in life, though, was his family, his crowning glory, his most cherished gift. He would hear nothing against us, trusted we could do anything and believed in us unequivocally. His love shone through his zany gifts, the crazy adventures he took us on, campfires, biking, soccer games, elections, hockey, trips, concerts, competitions -- he could even have us cheer on his beloved Patriots. He was our greatest champion. Ian was all about love -- it was all he ever said mattered," said Jody.
