Passing of Ian Buckingham
It is with great sadness that another of our branch has crossed the bar. The following has been received from Judith Collie nee Buckingham
Hi Frank, it is with great sadness that I advise that my beloved brother Ian Buckingham passed away on Sunday 29th July at Vickery Court in Invercargill. Ian had been at Vickery Court for some weeks and following his 80th birthday on the 4th July had deteriorated rapidly.
I must say a huge thank you to those Navy friends who travelled to celebrate his birthday with him, having spoken with Ian following this he appreciated it so much and felt the warmth of their friendship around him.
I can’t express the sorrow I feel at his passing, I guess we expect those we love the most to be there for us all the time RIP Ian, you will always be in my heart, and the hearts of my boys and their families. Love you forever
Kind regards
Judith Collie (nee Buckingham)
