Ian Turner, former owner of Rutherford Newsagency in New South Wales, passed away last night. A long term member of the Board of NANA and a strident supporter of the newsagency channel, Ian was well known among newsagents and suppliers. Ian liked to innovate the newsagency retail offer and often played outside the traditional model, providing inspiration for other newsagents.
I have been thinking of Ian all day today. What can I say really, Ian had a very big influence in my life and I would go as far to say he make me who I am today.
I wish I could sing for him as he sang for mine.
RIP Ian
