Ian Mulligan
Condolence Book
Ian, we really, really miss you. The Coburn Family.
Helen, I am so sorry about your brother. I know you will be feeling numb. You can't believe it at first. My thoughts and prayers are with you, your Mum, Andy, Alice and Henry. I am sure you will be strong for everyone and support each other. Take care. Lots of love. Maria Sylvester. xxxx
Helen and family, siobhan just told me about your brother, i am so sad for you and the pain and loss you all must be feeling. Please pass on my sympathy to your dear mother and Ians' wife. Prayers, Brigid Malone
Jane, Edna, Helen and other family and close friends - I can only begin to imagine how shocked and cheated you must all be feeling... Ian will always remain in my thoughts as the generous, patient, attentive, unassuming, deep, thoughtful man whom I first met when we worked together in 1980. He was always exactly the same when we met from time to time over subsequent years - even after long breaks - but the smile and laugh were always just waiting to emerge. Upholding you in our thoughts Kit & Shellie
It was my great pleasure to work with Dr.Mulligan at Milton Keynes for the past two years . His loss is tragic and he will be sadly missed by us all . Jenni Hamilton
Jane...just an additional comment to Kit's already posted. I will always have wonderful memories of being at Glyndebourne with you both...and Ian's exuberant joining in with ridiculous discussions about teddy bears and dinosaurs! The world is the less for his passing.

I was at medical school with Ian and Jane. I have lots of lovely memories of Ian, his quiet humour and his unassuming cleverness. Jane, I wish I had obeyed that idle thought about getting into contact again, and finding out how you both were. My heartfelt sympathies to you and all Ian's family. It must have been such a dreadful shock. Lots of Love Sarah Kelly xxxx
Ian, old friend, I'll never get to finish that "New Brain" that I sort of promised I would work on during our years at medical school. Jane, my deepest sympathy to you and all Ian's family and friends. Love and God Bless, Barry Chatterton (Hamilton, New Zealand)
How sad it was to hear of this news. Dr Mulligan was always smiling and brightened our day up here at the Saxon Clinic Clinic Outpatients Department. Our thoughts are with you at this sad time. Maggie Smith
Fond memories of dissecting a cadaver with Ian and Jane at medical school! Saddened to hear of Ian's early death. My deepest sympathy, Jane. Jeff Moss (Alberta, Canada)
I was Ian's partner at Spanish lessons most weeks and, although I didn't know him well, in the few weeks we worked together I always found him to be so full of fun (and so much better at Spanish than me). I'll miss him at the intermediate class but my thoughts and prayers are with his family at this very sad time. Mo Vernon
I miss him a lot.. but also happy that he died in a place he was happy in and enjoyed. And he did so many good things in the last year, living life fully: dancing salsa, learning Spanish, skiing, travelling to the Mediterranean, to Pyrinees, Cuba, Belgium, Amsterdam. He loved art and was beginning to paint well and enjoyed going to the Vermeer exhibition in London. In fact we almost went to New York one weekend for the last day of the Barcelona exhibition but that was a bit crazy so didn't! So a celebration of life! Thank you everyone who has texted me, phoned, sent kind messages and given amazing support! Jane
I worked with Dr Mulligan for over 4 years he was always helpful and approachable and someone we could all have a laugh with,he will be greatly missed by staff and patients. Deb Tindle
When we were students I shared a house in Brixton with Ian and Jane. I will remember Ian as one of the nicest and the most gentle people I have known. He was a good friend. My thoughts are with you all. Patrick Wilson.
To Jane and Ian's family - I was at STH with Ian and Jane in the mid 1970s: a very happy time within a small Medical School and it's difficult to believe it was nearly 30 years ago. Jane and Ian were in contact at the time of the last reunion - and sent a photograph as they could not attend. We all commented on their youthful appearence and joie de vivre! I shall remember a charming, kind and intelligent man. I send my deepest sympathy to you all. Buddy (Bernadette) Butler
I still can't believe that Ian has gone, it is a great loss to the cardiology patients of Milton Keynes and his friends and family. I will never forget his kindness and great sense of humour whilst working with him at Milton Keynes Cardiology department. Mary x
Dr Mulligan was a pleasure to work with. He was so kind and always had time for everyone. I shall always remember him coming into our office sharing jokes and practising his salsa steps! Such a lovely person who will be greatly missed... With love and thoughts for his family, Alex xx (Dr Baines Secretary, Milton Keynes)
To a super boss from his super secretary! Ian, you are so, so missed. Life will never be the same in our office without your cheerfulness to all and your lovely pleasant ways. We have worked together for the last 9 years and I have really enjoyed the privilege of being your secretary. We will miss you greatly at the Spanish classes too. I cannot say 'adios' so will just say 'hasta luego'. I send my thoughts and prayers to Ian's wife, his mum, his sister and family plus all his friends and colleagues, he is really missed. Love to all Ian's family. Jennifer - Ian's secretary at Milton Keynes xx
Ian was a pleasure to work alongside. He had a wicked sense of humour and loved a "good gossip". As a Cardiology secretary (Dr Gwilt), he never looked down on anyone and treated everyone as an equal, as a colleague. Latterly he treated my husband, and I was interested a an NHS employee, to hear about Ian's wonderful bedside manner and how he took the time to explain everything about my husband's condition and treatment in great detail and with great patience. On Cardiology nights out, he was the life and soul of the party, both when he attended alone and with his wife, Jane. I cannot stop thinking how tragic it is to not see him on the corridor anymore, to stop and have a good old chinwag. He always made time for others. He will be sorely missed, not only by his colleagues and friends, but also his patients. Joan Callan, Medical Secretary
To Dr Mulligans family and friends I'd like to send you my condolences at this sad time may happy memories help ease your sorrow, Dr Mulligan will sadly be missed from Cheryl Welsh G & A Cleaning
We shall really miss dear Ian in the too brief time we got to know and appreciate him. I owe him a great personal debt in that he was instrumental in helping forward the treatment which eventually led to my having an ICD implant. We loved him very much, Len and Sylvia(Coburn).
Although our times spent with Ian have been brief it was an awful shock to hear ttat he had died so suddenly. We remember the weekend many years ago when he came to stay with us. Ian was very impressed by my husbands culinary skills and both men stood back in admiration and marvelled at the perfect 'egg' Ronnie had cooked for Ians breakfast.. We are thinking of you Helen and family and Auntie Edna. Pamela Ronnie Tom and Lucy. xx.

It is a huge shock and awful sadness to hear that Ian is no longer with us. I didnt know him well but I had grown used to seeing him over the years at the Bumps Parties. As Ian and the Coburns knew, my favourite photo from this years bumps was of Ian. I just want to send my sincere condolences to his family and friends. Siobhan Malone
I am deeply saddened and shocked at the news - Ian was talented and kind and I had the chance to have a long, interesting talk with him, after many years, at Helen and Andrew's summer party. I never thought he could be taken away so quickly. All his family and friends must miss him tremendously and my sincerest thoughts go out to them. I shall keep the brightest memory of Ian Annick Jorand Manco

Dear Jane and all of Ian's family . We were very shocked to hear of Ian's death on our return from holiday this weekend. We have many fond memories of Ian at medical school and of the times that we spent together when we shared a room [David] and a house in Brixton {David +Bun},One of which is Ian's capacity for fun and his ability to obtain a 1st in Physiology whilst lying in bed having great thoughts, we realised we were in the presence of a bright chap. The last time we met was whilst hearing the May sung in from the top of Magdalen tower .He was an excellent cardiologist bringing compassion ,knowledge and science to his practice. All our love and thought's go to Jane and the Family .Love David and Bunmy

a very sad and unexpected loss, he will be greatly missed Hannah Morrison DoCC mkgh
We have known Dr Mulligan for the last nine years. As a colleague he was very professional, light hearted comical at time. This aspect of him lightened the seriousness of the clinic. Dr Mulligan was kind, generous cheerful and fun loving socially. We cannot believe that he no more, but will continue to live in our hearts forever. Kind regards to his family. God bless. From The Cardiology clinic nurses Prim and Lesley Milton Keynes Hospital.
Although I hadn't worked with Dr Mulligan long, I knew that he was one of the most polite, thoughtful and caring Doctor's I had the pleasure to meet. The Cardiology Dept at Milton Keynes Hospital will not be the same without him. We all miss him very much. Rachel Brown
He always made us laugh even we are so tired at work - that's how energetic he is. You will always be missed as a friend. It was a great pleasure working with you. Our deepest sympathy to Jane and family. Rey and Annie Sarmiento (Cardiology and CCU, MKGH)

You will always be remembered for your kindness and calming smile. I will miss you greatly. Nayana
I was deeply shocked to know about Ian's departure. I first knew him 9 years ago when he started at Milton Keynes and was looking forward to work with him again. He was one of the most fair and gentle people I ever came across and he will no doubt be missed by his colleagues and family alike. My thoughts are with his near and dear ones in whose memory he shall be alive. Rahul Mukherjee Consultant Physician Respiratory & General Medicine
Ian, We used to see you weekly in the gym and the swimming pool at David Lloyd and tease you about saving the hearts of Milton Keynes. You were always so humble, you were always so busy, and yet you always made an effort to stop and chat. We will miss you and we will remember you. Anthony & Clare Nicolaou
I was very shocked to hear the news of Ian's sudden and tragic death. As a colleague of Jane's I only ever met Ian at social occasions but I have no doubt that the joviality, modesty, kindness and calm manner that I witnessed made him a great physician - and no doubt very much a patient's physician. I am sure they will all miss him greatly. My thoughts and deepest sympathy are with all of his family and loved ones at this difficult time. Simon Woodruff
Dear Ian Thank you for ten very happy years working together, for living in the office next door to mine, and for the times we spent planning the future or idly chatting of the matters of the moment. Au revoir, my colleague and friend. David Gwilt
Dear Ian, Thank you for ten very happy years working together, for living in the office next door to mine, for all the times we spent planning the future or just chatting idly about the events of the day. Au revoir, my colleague and friend. David Gwilt
I had the pleasure of being in the first group of radiographers to open the new cardiac catheter lab. I always worked on a tuesday with Dr Mulligan. I will truly miss him. Sarah Greenwood.
Dr Mulligan will be greatly missed by all of us on CDU (MKGH). He was always so pleasant and polite, genuinely interested in each patient and never impatient with us staff.
Carino, I wish I could be with you today to say a quiet farewell but instead will do it tomorrow at your Memorial. Tu me ha decido que quando tu besame tu alma mingla con mi alma en nos besos - pues, ya tu tienes un poco de mi alma contigo y yo un poco de tu alma conmigo. Tu tienes contigo todas mis piensas, esperanzas, mis besos y mi corazon. Quando tu me ha enviado las bellas floras blancas de Cuba tu ha decido "no me olvidas." Ian, es impossible olvidarte, tu vives en mi corazon y mi alma ambos y yo te quiero mucho. Lynn xxxxxxxx
we all will miss Dr Mulligan. He was a gem of a person. - ankit

Ian, this is a complete shock, I still can't believe it, you were so well and full of life at my farewell party which seems just the other day. I clearly remember your cheerful impish grin as you bad me farewell. This just seems so unfair. Looking through your photographs it is good to see that you lived life to the full. You are sorely missed. Stewart Fisher
Dear Dr Mulligan, You are really missed. I hope wherever you are now, you are happy as I have always seen you smiling and so kind towards everyone. You were very nice person and this world needs more people like you. We miss you. Ayesha

Ian, Although we met in the first instance through work, you were more to me than someone I called upon, you became a friend. I looked forward to seeing you each week at the gym in the exercise class, always standing in front of me with a huge massive smile. You lived life to the full, with huge amounts of positivity, enthusiasm and fun. I will miss you. Larissa

Sincere condolences on the loss of Ian. Beside the loss to his family, he is a great loss to Milton Keynes Hospital, his fiends and his patients. May mercy be upon his soul.
It was with great sadness that I heard of Ian`s sudden death. Ian had been a very familiar face in the gym at David Lloyds and above all a regular in the Hour of Power class that I teach with Larissa on a tuesday and thursday evening. A very warm man with a great passion for life, he is and always will be greatly missed. With kind regards to all that knew him and to his family. From Ashley and all at David Lloyd
I came to know ian as a member of the Thames valley cardiac Network of which he was a board member. Ian was a staunch supporter of the network always providing insight and humour to the work involved. patients always remained the focus of his concern, and he was dedicated to improving care. He will be greatly missed. Clare Felton Cardiac Network Manager
Helen and Edna - to you especially we wish to send condolences. We were so sorry to hear about your brother. What a terrible loss for you both. Wish we could send you lots of hugs to let you know that your friends around the world (or at least in Virginia) are thinking of you and keeping you in our prayers. May your memories of Ian be flooded with good times and lots of love. Love to you all!! Joy, Jeff, Aaron and Joshua
Dear Helen and Andrew, Greg and I were shocked to learn that your brother, whom we'd just had the pleasure of meeting, had passed on so suddenly and unexpectedly. He was such a charming man and clearly a loving member of your family. We send you our deepest sympathy. Esther Hirsh (Nachtwey)
I barely knew Dr Mulligan - yet I was truly saddened to hear of his untimely death. I had rather anticipated that I would come to know him better as his patient. He was only a four years older than me. Through people like me, I hope his family, his friends, and his colleagues will derive comfort of his lasting legacy: the cardiac catheter laboratory at Milton Keynes - and the many lives he will have improved and helped prolong. Only last December, the machinery helped him diagnose the extent of my own hitherto unknown coronary artery disease. I ended up with a bypass operation in Oxford 2 days after the angiogram. I will be forever grateful to him and remember his last piece of advice to me, "do plenty of exercise, and, if the budget runs to it, enjoy a glass of red wine every day". I try to. May he rest in peace. DK (a grateful patient).
We were very sad to hear of Ian's death and would like to send our best wishes and condolences to all of his family. What fantastic person Ian was, a great sense of humour, amazingly clever and very down to earth. Surachai worked in the same lab with Ian in Oxford, and we realised another connection because I'd lived in Radyr till I was 18. In fact I think Ian's Mum taught my older sister. Some time after leaving Oxford, Surachai reconnected with Ian by email from San Francisco and they started a game of email chess. Finally, Ian declared victory but check mate didn't seem to have happened at our end, and they realised that somewhere along the line there'd been a mistake and they were playing completely different boards. After that our paths didn't cross again, which is a great shame. We are very lucky to have known Ian. Judy Rees & Surachai Supattapone
I was very upset to hear of Dr. Mulligan's death. As one of his many private patients, I felt so confident in him and his help and advice. I shall sorely miss my twice-yearly consultations at the Saxon Clinic. Pam Fisher
