Ian was born in India to British parents. His family returned to England in 1944. He met June on Christmas Day 1955 and they married one year later.

The family immigrated to the United States in 1961, where Ian began working in Middleport, New York and later St. Paul, Minnesota. He retired in 1995 and he and June settled in Pt. Ludlow, Washington. After June’s death, Ian met his partner, Mary Sue Hutchins while cruising the Pacific. In 2013, he and Mary Sue made their home in Rossmoor, Walnut Creek, California.
