Ian M Stockdale MBE 1921 - 1999

Ian Stockdale was one of the most popular and respected members of our organisation. He was a true christian gentleman who devoted his life to ensuring a bright future for others.

In 1941 Ian enlisted and served in New Guinea with the AIF and spent months in the Repatriation Hospital before returning to the real estate business. He married Lions Lady Rae in 1946 and, following travels to the USA where youth camps were commonplace, his love and concern for children and their future become one of his strong characteristics.

Ian served as District Governor of District 201 M in 1969 - 70, as International Director from 1976 to 78, and was awarded one of the Association's highest awards, The Ambassador of Goodwill. In 1979 he was awarded the MBE.

Lions Licola Village was created from Ian's ability to clearly visualise an opportunity and was purchased and converted to the facility as we know it today through his untiring work for the youth of the nation.
