Ivan was one of the best men I knew. Always kind and generous and a good friend. He will be greatly missed by all who called him friend, grandpa, step-dad, husband, etc.

Ivan was a classmate of my dad's and a good family friend. I remember sitting around the kitchen table playing Miles Bourne as a young girl. He was also a guest at our wedding. Such a nice fellow! Emma & Lester, his parents, were nice to visit with. Dad just passed away on August 1st, so this is such sad news. Blessings and comfort from Christ Jesus to all Ivan's family and friends.
