Ian LANE
Published: 2013-05-18

May 30, 1926 - May 6, 2013 Ian passed away peacefully in his sleep, shortly before his 87th birthday. He is remembered with great love by his sister Daphne (Doug) Crowe, brother Tom (Susan) Lane, niece Patricia Crowe (Joey) and nephew David Crowe (Marge), as well as nieces Megan, Melonie, and Manda Lane, and the "greats" Morgan, Claire, Cody, Travis and Dawn. Ian was born in Regina to Hilma and Dr. Verne Lane. A graduate of McGill University, Ian spent most of his working life outdoors as a land surveyor for the Saskatchewan government before retiring to Vancouver in 1986. Ian's passions included nature, hiking, photography, skiing, gardening, and ballroom dancing. He was a long-time member of Nature Vancouver and was renowned for his beautiful photographs of insects, especially dragonflies, moths, and butterflies, many of which have been published. We will greatly miss "Eno's" gentleness, humour, intelligence, and good nature. Donations in Ian's name can be made to Nature Vancouver, PO Box 3021, Vancouver BC V6B 3X5.
