Jim Ivory was one-of-a-kind. The man was bigger than his stature in life. He epitomized what North Dayton stood for. Honest, hard working man whose kindness knew no limits. An Army veteran during the Vietnam era, he did his duty with excellence. His passing puts a little more of Old North Dayton into the history books. The Ivory family IS Old North Dayton!
My sincere condolences to the Ivory family.
