We are heartbroken to announce that IAN PHILIP MCCULLOCH, husband, father, brother, son and dear friend to many, has Passed into Mystery, suddenly, at age sixty-two, while camping in Algonquin Park.
Ian was a quiet but vital presence in the North Bay cultural community, being a founding member of the "Conspiracy of 3," now in its thirty-first year. He was the author of three books of poetryThe Moon of Hunger (1982), The Efficiency of Killers (1988) and Parables and Rain (1993)and one novel, Childforever (1996). He was also the proud parent of Matthew (Skyler), Elena and Bobbie-Ann. Ian loved nature, canoeing, camping, hiking, reading, writing, music and the sport of Ringette. As well as his children, he leaves behind his "True Companion," Laurie Kruk-McCulloch, writer and professor.
A Celebration of Ian's Life is planned for Sunday September 29th 1-4 at Club 183 (183 First Avenue West). Memories, stories and poems are encouraged. Donations to the Heart and Stroke Fund, or World Wildlife Fund, Canada are welcomed by the family.
