Our deepest sympathies to Ivan's family at this difficult time. Ivan was a wonderful, kind man who was a friend to all. He will be fondly remembered.

Ivan was a great person and I will miss him. He would go out of his way to help people. A few years ago he had a "drive way cleaning" list of people. He would take his tractor into Strathroy and completely clean out those people's driveways. It might take him hours to make his rounds but he was thrilled that he could help people out in this way. He never wanted money for this, just some muffins and a big "thank you" smile.
Just a note in memory of and tribute to Ivan. He was a gentle man and one that was sincere and always ready to help. He will truly be missed by so many people. His love for God, the Church, his family connections, and friends was always evident. May God bless each of those who are part of his family connection and all who will carry Ivan in their memories.
Uncle Ivan you've fought a good fight and you've finished your race here on earth! May you rest peacefully in the arms of our Jesus. We'll miss your warm smile and gentle spirit but the memories are many that will last a lifetime. Nobody will ever "witch for water" like our "Great Uncle I"
Love Laurie, Paul, Bran and Roo
The Whiting family ,long time neighbours of Ivan, wish to express our condolences to his family and relatives.
I believe Ivan is the last of the old generation of farmers on the old 8th. concession of Caradoc.
Rest in Peace Ivan.
Gladys Maynard, Marjorie Versteegden, and John Whiting
