Ian would like to leave D.T. 5 mag locks, 2 bald tires and numerous clouds of smoke!! He spends his time playing soccer & rugby, and his favourite hobbies are drinking & girls (but what else?!).

From his family

The world became a lot less bright on Dec 3rd, 2022 with the unexpected passing of Ian Raffan at the young age of 64. Ian was a man of wisdom, kindness and unwavering love for his family. His infectious laughter, unending humour, jokes, and impersonations brought joy & laughter to those around him. He was a rare kind of man who would give you the shirt off his back if you needed with no hesitation. After graduating, Ian married his highschool sweetheart and love of his life Mary Kollar. In 1984 they welcomed their only daughter Krystle into this world. Ian was so proud and excited to become a dad, and he was the best dad anyone could ask for.
