The death of the retired social worker, who had been taken into local authority care as a child during the 1950s, was announced by his wife Sue on December 31 last year.
Among those paying tribute to Ian, who was also an Ofsted inspector and residential care manager, is Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon.
She said that it had been a “privilege” to meet him at a recent Who Cares Scotland event and described Ian as “an inspiration to many in the care community here in Scotland”.
Very sorry for your loss, Sue. It was a privilege to meet Ian at the @whocaresscot summer camp - I will always remember his words of wisdom to me then and I know he was an inspiration to many in the care community here in Scotland. My condolences to you and your family
