So very sorry to hear of Ivan’s passing. He was truly such a nice man. Condolences to his family and his many friends.
I’m so very heart broken to read of Ivan’s passing today. I was going to wish him a Happy Birthday today on Facebook and saw the obituary. I was shocked. Ivan and I met through work at Bailey’s furniture and remained friends and had lovely dinner parties with him and my husband until Covid hit. We hadn’t seen each other for a few years but did remain in touch periodically. Ivan will be so missed by Tom & I and we will treasure our memories of him always.
My condolences to Ivan’s family and friends in Canada. Hans Goossens (Belgium).
Heartfelt sympathies to the family
and friends. He will be missed by many.
