I am so sad that we had to say good bye to such a loving and wonderful man. Uncle Ivan was a sincere and devoted man. He loved his wife, children and everyone around him. He constantly told amazing stories from his past. I will miss your stories but will never forget. I will miss taking part in very meaningful political talks. Our society has truly lost a person with so much wisdom and common curitiousy to his fellow man. I would also like to thank you for all of your advocating for people's rights and unions.
Thank you Uncle Ivan for being a part of my life, my husband's life and baby Priya's life.
We love you.

Annemarie and family, we were so sad to learn of your Dad's passing. Annemarie, we know how much your Dad meant to you. It was obvious how much you loved and adored him. You gave him the most wonderful gift a father could receive. The love you had for him was a testament to the kind of father he was - a loving family man. I hope in time you find some peace in the wonderful memories you and your family share. Take care of your Mom and take care of each other. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.

With much love, Randy & Anna Felty

Ivan was one of the greatest man I ever known. I just wish there would be more like him in this world and that will make this a better place for all of us. I will miss him for a very long time.
