Ian. Was good working with you on the monster that is TLS.

Now you have all the time in the world to do you music and ride your bike.

Let's catch up for a ride soon.

All the best. D

Hi Ian,

The end of an era!... I remember you and Mr Woodford from practically my first day in UH. Many a good chat/moan has been shared over beers or chance meetings in the corridor. I'm hoping our paths will cross at some random gig or another in the not too distant future, but I sincerely hope you can enjoy life after TLS whatever you are doing!

All the best,
Chris

Dear Ian,
Counting on my wizened fingers I realize that we have been colleagues and friends for 27 years! How time has flown by...like a Jerry Garcia guitar solo!
It was always a pleasure to meet with you and laugh about life's absurdities, especially at Credit Suisse. I also miss our evening training rides...followed by a 'recovery drink' at the bar.
All the very best for your retirement, and I am sure you will enjoy it to the full!
Keep in touch, and if you ever stuck for a companion for a cycle ride you can call me any time.
Best wishes and a fond farewell,
Matthew.

It is hard to imagine TLS without you.
I hope you will no longer get fussed about the entity_eod_date being wrong :)
Best of luck and enjoy your biking adventures

Regards,
Anantha

Dear Ian,
Quote:
Forever trust in who you are, and nothing else matters
You were one of my very first colleagues when I started working in Switzerland all those years ago. I joined at a tumultuous time in TLS, but no matter how stressed everyone else seemed to get, you seemed to take it all in your stride, as you'd seen it all before. I don't know how many times we heard people talking about switching off TLS, but it's still alive and kicking! I can't really imagine TLS without Ian, it doesn't quite compute in my head!

Thanks for bringing some normality to the crazy banking world, your stories and advice will be sorely missed.

Keep in touch and have a wonderful retirement!

Hi Ian,
I wish you all the best in whatever challenges and adventures you find yourself tackling in the years ahead.
The ITO role has been a good preparation for many of them I'm sure (or I hope anyway :-).

Unfortunately, I have to miss the party on Friday, but perhaps we catch up in the Finbar in the months ahead.
Take it easy out there in the great big world of 'new life-work balance'.

Hi Ian,

Congratulations on making it to retirement. You've survived a bank, numerous ITPLs, Eirik developing in Prod, N3220, Woody, Java developers, Control-M GMT, >=3 source control systems, Marcelo's Enterprise Architect, more GARS reviews, Instradierung change again?

Thank you for all the contributions you made and the explanations of why the system works like it does in TLS (and the history behind it).

Good luck in retirement and maybe you'll come back to press the off button on TLS in 202x!

Lets say: One of the fathers of TLS... :-)
Thank you for the good cooperation and all the best from one of the sons of TLS. As expected, it will survive us both....

So jealous of your retirement, hope you use it to the fullest! Still can't wrap my head around you leaving, to me 'I' in TLS ITAO will always stand for 'Ian'. Have loads of fun out there and rock your way through the better part of life! Thanks for everything and take care

Well what can I say... I will miss you very much and I am genuinely sad that you are leaving the team.
On the other hand, I am also very pleased for you that you can enjoy your retirement and focus on the important things in life like your band and planning some epic cycling trips :-)

Ian,

Congratulations on escaping from UH! But beware - there are many traps to lure unsuspecting retirees to come back and keep working!

Enjoy retirement, and I look forward to seeing you at many a "Team Prog" gig in the future.

Cheers

Dear Ian,
Its hard to believe that the time has come for you to leave us!
You've been here and part of everything for so long, who is going to educate me about all things Swiss from the Tagi?
And remind me that I have to be careful about...
I will miss you, your good humor and entertaining stories!
Best of luck and enjoy your retirement, it'll be nice to finally have time for all your hobbies!
Take care,
Sarah
