Ian Tattersall
It is with great sadness that we have learnt that Ian Tattersall, an ex-member of Rossendale Ramblers, died on 9th May aged 85.
Ian joined the group in the 1990’s and soon became an active member and walk leader. Later he became Chairman, and he undertook his duties diligently. He would step in and lead a walk if there was a gap in the calendar – he knew loads of walks!
Ian loved the outdoors, walking in the countryside and the social aspect of being with friends. He was good company, and had a sense of fun and adventure. He was fascinated by mechanical things found on walks: old tractors and rusty farm implements often caught his eye – different versions of Stop and Stares than today.
Ian will be fondly remembered as a kind, modest man who was valued by all who knew him.
His funeral will take place on Thursday, 18th June, 11 a.m. at Accrington Crematorium.
Joan &. Malcolm,
So sorry to hear about Ian, he was a kind man who would help anyone.
We used to be laughing all day as he had an a4 sheet of paper with the first line of his jokes on, so as to jog his memory, and he had plenty of funny stories to tell.
He was a good man to have on the team., leading walks , and sorting our cars out, from his garage.
Rest in peace Ian.
I am saddened to hear about Ian, we had many great walks and he always made us belly laugh with his jokes.
whay a lovely man
RIP Ian
Ian used to own DCL garage in Cloughfold and was a good motor mechanic. His hand written invoice went into great detail of everything he had done including oiling the door hinges.
He was a lovely man. He was so interesting to walk with. He taught me everything I know about Belted Galloway Cattle!
Yes, he was a lovely man.
