Riley Boussey lit a candle

“My Condolences: Ian was the true definition of a CIQS member. When I first became a member out in Calgary. He was one of those famous people in the CIQS magazines. But, when I moved back to Ontario I would see him at every event and always chat with him. His happy, warm welcoming embodiment always made every CIQS event a pleasure. No matter what, he was always there to help you with any CIQS related items. He will be greatly missed as this is a huge loss for the entire CIQS community and family.”

“In loving memory of Ian Bruce Duncan, Dear Tyra, Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time. Ian took me under his wings over 20 years ago as a new immigrant to Canada trying to find my professional footing as a Quantity Surveyor. I am forever indebted to Ian for his friendship and support. Ian will be missed dearly. May the peace that comes from the memories of love shared, comfort you now and in the days ahead.”

Bill Nichols lit a candle

“Tyra, Natasha and Alexander, please accept my sincere condolences. I will really miss not teaming up with Ian on our regular CIQS professional interviews. Reminiscing, I think my best memory was when we were together several years ago for the CIQS congress in Halifax and Ian discovered that there were tickets available the next day for the Bluenose cruise. Needless to say, our professional development was a magnificent sail on a perfect day.”
