Ian Sydney Notley

(July 12, 1936 - May 28, 2008)

Ladies and gentlemen, clients, colleagues, and friends:

It is with great sadness that I must report the passing of our founder and friend, Ian Notley.

As many of you have been aware, Ian had been battling cancer for the past five years. We all knew Ian for his unflagging persistence and he was no different in his struggle against this adversary. As it was in his life and professional affairs, so too was it in this. He was fully engaged.

A brilliant capital markets analyst, Ian was a single, absolute personality and individual. The work and methods he developed over his career reflected those distinctive qualities of originality, depth, and consistency, consistently delivered.

Ian is survived by his wife, Pat and his two sons, Drew and Taryn. No formal service is planned. The family wishes a private grieving and gathering.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be sent to:

The Praxair Cancer Center at Danbury Hospital
24 Hospital Ave, Danbury, CT 06810

Respects may be paid to the Notley family:
79 Mimosa Circle, Ridgefield, CT 06877

Notley's Notes will continue its publishing deadline on schedule, led by the team in place these last twenty years, prepared and advanced for this purpose. The show must go on, for the markets surely will. Plans for corporate matters, arrangements, and new products will be forthcoming.

For now, we wish that the entire community of friends and associates who knew Ian and his work reflect together on his life and his work and the legacy he left for us to continue.

Sincerely,

Jonathan Arter
