JAMES IAN ROSS
With deep regret we advise that Ian passed away peacefully
at his Gletwyn homestead on 24th December 2012 after a long and
brave battle with cancer.
Ian was a long standing member of the Zimbabwe Hunters’
Association and a dedicated, hands-on Chairman for many years and Committee
Member. He was also one of the initial
founder members of the Rifa Conservation Education Camp and was involved in the
original tented camps and later the building of the present camp. His contribution and generosity will never be
forgotten. As a regular volunteer hunter over many years and a fount of
knowledge on bush lore, hunting, butterflies and many other subjects, he was
always an inspiration to the students and adults alike.
Ian will be remembered as a very honest and courageous
person who stood by his principles at all times. His contribution to the Zimbabwe Hunters
Association and Rifa Conservation Education Camp will be sorely missed.
Our deepest sympathy to Biddy and all the family.
Chairman, Committee, members, office and Rifa staff

Ian Ross was a very good and generous friend to me when we were at Churhill School 1951 to 1956.We were in the pipe band together as drummers.I went on to learn the pipes myself with the Black Watch,and later played with the Scots Guards.I had meant to go and visit Ian for many years,but,it seems I am too late.The loss is mine.I am very sad.Colin Campbell
