Peacefully at home, with his wife by his side, April 3, 2022, surrounded by love. Loving husband of Barbara L. Macdonald. Predeceased by his father, Stanley E. Dinsdale. Sadly missed by his mother, Mary F. Dinsdale; his daughter Heather Millard (Dylan & Caelin Fair); his brothers Robert (Jane) and Jim (Karry) and his family and many friends. Please wish Ian a safe journey as he flies high amongst the angels. Ian is at peace. Ian’s strength was incredible, and his love of life unshakeable. The earth that Ian loved so much will miss him. Ian is now free from the bonds of earth. Ian is a true pilot amongst the stars. Godspeed, to the best farmer in southern Ontario. A private remembrance will be held at Cardrona Valley Farm, after planting is done. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Nature Conservancy of Canada (https://www.natureconservancy.ca), The Lung Association (https://lunghealth.ca), the COPD Foundation (www.copdfoundation.org) and CAMH (www.camh.ca) would be appreciated.
