Ian was a lovely man and a perfect father-in-law. Easy to talk to, with good humour, and a no-nonsense attitude that made me quickly warm to him. He treated life’s ups and downs with a wry smile or a raised eyebrow, and his first concern was always for others, even when he had more than enough adversity of his own to deal with. His contrasting passions were peacefully gardening and shouting at the football. When it came to the latter, I was truly glad to have been there when his beloved Latics lifted the FA Cup against all the odds. That unlikely triumph of the unassuming little underdog was no more than he deserved after his unfaltering lifelong support. As with football and gardening, so he was with family; giving unfaltering love and unerring support. He will be truly missed.

Geoff and Heather Brogan. We have known Ian for more than 50 years and shared many happy times with him and Jean. We had children at the same time when we lived in the Midlands and many years later we celebrated with them as all 4 children got married in the same year. We spent many happy weekends in their cottage in Wensleydale and have always managed to see them regularly. Our garden is full of memories of Ian in the form of the many plants he has given us over the years.He was a really generous, kind and loving person whom we will miss greatly.

From Kate Jackson I have many fond childhood memories of Christmas's and New Year's celebrations spent together with the Wadsworth family and the legendary Easter Egg hunts taking place in Ian's garden. I remember his warm smile and belly laugh and poking round his sheds and garages and exploring the garden. I remember visiting his plant nursery and garden stall. I am so very grateful to have inherited the Wadsworth green fingers and feel connected to Ian, Melly and Jessy whenever I'm at work in a garden, there's much comfort to be found working with plants and the soil. I am so glad for all their inspiration and shared passion.

From Graham and Sue Hughes We didn’t see so much of Ian over the last few years. Nevertheless when we did meet we were all immediately at ease with each other. This we feel is a mark of true friendship. We hold a special place in our hearts for the times we shared and were very lucky to have known such a kind, lovely man.

From Bethan Kay This image sums up my memories of Uncle Ian; Latics Fanatic, Happy, surrounded by Family. Ben Watson had just scored the infamous goal at Wembley and to share this moment together as a family was truly special and a memory that will stay with me forever. Matches will never been the same, though the ref will get an easier time! He was always so pleased to see you whenever you would visit and would always ask 'how you doing kid?' then would give you the biggest hug. Such a kind and caring Uncle, and a best friend to our Dad, we really were so lucky to have him in our lives x

We met Ian through working with Jean at Round Oak Steelworks in the early 1970's. Every time we met him he made us feel good with his infectious smile and sense of humour. Throughout the past fifty yers we have kept in touch but since leaving the Midlands we have never been geographically close. We would like to thank Ian for the Moroccon chicken recipe he gave us and think of him when we use that recipe. Thinking of you all, Peter and Kaye

From Susan Matthews Memories of Ian My earliest memory dates back to Jean and Ian's wedding day in 1968, and specifically to Ian's bridegroom speech. He thanked a long list of people, of course, then added 'special thanks to Brenda, whose astuteness brought us together'. I thought it was a lovely sentiment, beautifully expressed, and for some reason it has stuck with me. Every time I hear 'astuteness' I think of Ian! Other memories of him have all followed a similar pattern over the years: conversations have been short and sweet! Whether in their first home near Birmingham (we used to call in on our way south) or decades later when they were back in Wigan, I had only brief glimpses of Ian. Jean and I would be sitting chatting, a head would appear at the door and a beaming, twinkly smile would greet us. Then of course he would disappear, back to his pottering, usually in the garden. When Ian opened his nursery off Miry Lane it seemed a perfect late career move for him. I do remember having 'proper' conversations with him there and I'm regularly reminded of him when I look at the ground cover bits in my garden. I'm glad to say that I do have fairly recent memories of Ian too. When we were on holiday near Blenheim, about twenty minutes away from Chinnor, we visited Jean and Ian and spent a few happy hours chatting...... about family, the garden, tales of Wigan old and new, and mainly of course about Latics. I don't think Ian would be too chuffed with them at the moment! Our memories of Ian during that visit were of a lovely man, coping so well in difficult circumstances and seemingly, always smiling.

I have such happy, fond memories of Uncle Ian watching the Latics, especially on this occasion at Wembley. I'll really miss the sound of his raspy northern tones bellowing at the referee making a shocking decision and the big, strong hugs we all received when they scored,. I'll always think of him when I smell of Hot Bovril or hear the crinkle of an Uncle Joe's Mint Ball wrapper! He was such a kind and caring man, always smiling, we will really miss him.

This photo basically says what my Dad said to me at top table a few minutes later. "Steady on. Less bubbles, more food and you might make it to the last dance!" Dad was such a huge influence in my life and was always ready with some sage advice. He is the reason I decided to start my own business and has always taught me to follow my heart, "Life's too short" he would say. Indeed it is. He was a fantastic Dad to me, Grandad to Martha and Father in Law to Simon. We will all miss him so much xxx
