    I worked with Ion during the time he was in our Vancouver Office. He was a great colleague and over the years we became great friends. I learned a lot from him about the Marine Industry. He would quite often share stories of his life and travels with me, which I always found so interesting. I would always tell him he should write a book. It would have been a best seller. He will be greatly missed. RIP Ion x

    A hearty laugh and always willing to help. He helped me navigate Port State Control in Pacific and could be counted on for advice. He will be missed.
