Ian worked for me at MasterCorp, I interviewed him, I hired him. I think about Ian a lot. He was such a kind, amicable sweet, polite young man. He always had kind of an expressionless look on his face but when he smiled, his entire face lit up. Everyone loved him.
The job at MasterCorp was extremely demanding from the amount of work to the meticulous quality required each day. One day he came into my office and said “I know you think I’m doing a bad job but I want you to know I can do better and I want you to be proud of me”. I was blown away. I told him that we can all always do better and that I was proud of him but that I was mostly proud of him for coming to my office to have the conversation.
Ian’s family was very important to him. I still have texts on my phone with him saying he had to drop his brother off at school or one time take the cat to the vet, frequently to help his dad with some things or his mom at the coffee shop. I can’t remember which holiday it was and EVERYONE works holidays in hospitality but he begged for it off so he could help his mom and work in the truck with her.
There is so much more I could say and this just does not do him justice. Ian did not demand the spotlight like some of the younger people on the team, he let other people have it….but he had this quiet humility, humor and kindness and truly he was everyone’s favorite. Such a special lovely soul, so thankful to have known you.
