Peacefully, to greet the sun in Kitchener-Waterloo on November 19, 2011. Cherished husband of Lorraine of Waterloo, proud Dad to Larry (Rose) of Kincardine, Margaret (Ken) of Thunder Bay, Jim of Waterloo, Andrew of Toronto and Robert (Tonya) of Wellesley. Dear Grandpa to Shannon Pellett (Chris), Matt Munro, David, Robert, Amanda and Megan Bates, Eric, Dylan, Tyler and Alyssa Munro. Ian was born at Park Hill Gold Mines to the late Eric and Jean Munro in January, 1935 and was dutiful big brother to the late Eric (the late Mary) of Palmerston. Ian grew up in Wawa where he and Lorraine started a family and lovingly and, with wisdom and care, embraced that duty through years in Sault Ste. Marie and Kitchener Waterloo. Ian was a long time employee of the Algoma Ore Division, Algoma Steel Corporation and B.F. Goodrich. Ian was a problem solver, early age sportsman, later year recreationalist and full time family man. Next to family, Ian was most at home among friends and planes at the Flying Dutchman model airplane club. He will be greatly missed by his many friends and family.
