Ike, we at the golfing group at WWCC will miss you. You were always a regular and I rode in a cart with you only several weeks ago for 18 good holes. You always loved the game and we all enjoyed playing it with you. Bill Smythe

Ike and I worked together for many years in both Trenton and Florence. He was well known throughout the industry for his knowledge in his field of metalurgy and welding. Whenever the US NAVY had a problem they always called him first. He was a great friend and golfing partner who will be sorely missed.

Iona and Family,

Greg and I are sadden to hear about Ike. Even though I haven't spoken with him in several months.. I so often had him in my thoughts. He not only was one of my favorite Bosses, he was a good friend. I will always remember, when his arm started to itch, that meant he needed to take a trip for work. I could always depend on him to give me good advise. And if you remembered, when you could not make my wedding because you both were in Hawaii, I was sent a telegram message......that was very special to me.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this very sad time.

love always,
Sandy and Greg Rue

Dear Iona and Family,

It takes a long time to get used to the loss of someone we love. But it's important to remember that when people die, they leave something very special behind, they leave us memories of many things they said and did. And as long as we have those memories, the people we love will live on in our hearts and minds.

May the sympathy of friends and the precious memory of Ike help to comfort you at this time.

Terri Pelz and Daughters, Ellen and Susan
