April 18 2011 IAN ROBERT EWING Ian was the Birmingham Branch
Manager for many years and below you can see some of the belongings that
his niece Lorna Clarke found when clearing up his effects and SHE has
shared his life story with us He worked on Lorna's father's family farm
until called up for National Service in the RAF in the late forties. While
serving in Palestine he was injured when a truck he was travelling in was
blown up and Ian suffered injuries including a broken pelvis and had to
lie on his back in hospital for six weeks. After National Service Ian
joined the railways and shortly after that emigrated to Rhodesia returning
to Britain after seven years . He joined North British Rubber Company on
his return from Rhodesia
He
never married which was a shame as he would have made a great Dad, he was
a very kind, considerate man, conscientious and had high principles.
He nearly got married when he was in Africa, but sadly he came home and
she didn't at that time and then before they met again she met someone
else. He did spend a lot of time living with and looking after his
elderly parents, firstly in Coventry and then when he retired he moved up
to Sanquhar. Ian
was a wonderful dancer although I'm not sure where or when he learnt, he
was a very popular person and always looked years younger than he was.
He kept his hair and didn't go grey even when in his 80s, he was charming
and fun and probably my 'best mate'. He listened to what one had to
say and was genuinely interested, he kept a secret and was very loyal.
He was Best Man at my sister's wedding, gave me away at my Wedding (as my
father had passed on) and also gave away 3 of his nieces in
Glasgow....sort of a bit like the never ending bridesmaid!
