He returned from Vietnam with a Commendation Medal for Meritorious Service, the Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal, as well as a medal for his marksmanship. After his tour of duty, Ian continued working at Kelly Field Air Force Base in the Avionics Division for 41 years working on B52's. After retiring, he started his "Honey Do Handy Man" business.

For many years, Ian was co-chair with his wife at the Folklife Festival and volunteered his time with the March of Dimes Walk. He also enjoyed going to mass and working in the garden for the Carmelite Nuns, where he even showed them how to make his special Italian cookies. Shortly before his illness, he volunteered at The Fisher House.

Rest in peace, sir.
