I send so much healing energy to Ian's family, friends and co-workers. I had the honour of meeting Ian through my work with OFNTSC and what I always remember is how proud he was of his family and community. He shared so many pictures of his daughter's wedding and his home on Fox Lake that he shares with his partner. Ian would light up when he told stories of his home and all the celebrations with family. I was shocked to hear of his passing. I always remember Ian for his kindness and compassion. The Creator has called the bestest home. My sympathies to the family.

I am going to miss my friend greatly. I first met him when he was working at his home community at the water plant for a project. He had approached me to join AWWAO back in the day which due to his humor and great spirit, I readily accepted. We went on with the other board members, to create AWWAO as a stand alone organization for the Indigenous Operators of Ontario. And as a result, we became good friends.
He was so expressive with his big eyebrows and mustache that he made me smile and laugh. He was generous and would offer for me to stay at his house in CC. One time I even brought my wife for him to meet and he was so excited, he invited Cathy and Jamie to see her! Though I suspect, he didn't think I was ever going to marry and didn't believe she actually existed! Luckily I got to return the favour and host him at my house during his travels so he knew my wife was still real!!
It was always this time of year, we would call each other and catch up on news and gossip. He would always open up with news about Jamie and through this, I could tell he was always proud of her. I am greatly saddened that this call will not occur this year and forever now.
My wife and I express our deepest sympathies for Jamie's and Ian's family loss of truly a unique man that we were proud to know.

My sincerest sympathies to the family.
Ironically, I had the pleasure of speaking to Ian at great length last month during my visit to Chapleau. He proudly spoke of his kids and grandkids and how much he enjoyed his life. My sincerest sympathies to the Fortin family, and especially Rosemary who I worked with for years at the Royal Bank. It is such a tragic loss when you lose a child regardless of age. Please know Rosemary that you are in my thoughts and prayers as is your family.
