Ian MCCULLOUGH Obituary
Ian Francis (Dr Ian):
Despite his extraordinary resilience, Ian finally lost his fight with cancer on October 6th, 2020. He was the beloved husband of Linda, the dearly loved father of Catherine and Alistair, and a cherished member of the McCullough, Hirst, Bell, and Matthews families. Ian led a full life and was loved and respected by many. He was a valued friend and doctor, an avid traveller, an ace photographer, and a storyteller extraordinaire. He had an irreverent sense of humour but could always be counted on for sage advice. He fought incredibly hard to ensure he could spend as much time as possible with his friends and family, managing to reach the milestone of his 70th birthday in August. While we are heartbroken that he is gone, we are relieved he is now at peace. He will be sorely missed by his family, friends, work colleagues and his many patients. Ian dedicated his life to caring for others and was rewarded with incredible care in return. The family would like to thank everyone who filled his final years with love, laughter, kindness, and comfort. A service for Ian will be held at 1.00pm, on Saturday 10th October, at Raleigh Street Christian Centre in Leamington. Please join us if you want to celebrate Ian's life with us. In lieu of flowers we ask that people consider donating to Waikato Hospice.

Just looked Ian up when I spotted a book (dear zoo) which your family gave my son Cameron (now 40!) when he was a baby, such a shock, lovely memories of our time in Cambridge and our friendship whilst we were there, thinking of you all , Michaela Lindsay xx

Ian, our new doctor when we came to live in the Waikato 27 years ago. Loved his manner & especially the interest we had in common, farming. We were lucky to have had Ian for those years & we offer our sincere condolences to the family. John & Sandra Cottle.

Ian we worked together for over 10 years, you were so kind and caring and remembered everyone and their families through generations. We've had a lot of laughs and conversations over the last 3 years, and I'll miss those so much. You never lost your humour even though we knew you were suffering so you now deserve to rest in peace. You'll be missed not only by us, but by so many more. Love to Linda and all your family Robyn & Neil Bridgland
