Dear Judith, William and Warren;
I am very sorry to hear about the passing of your husband and Dad. Ivar and I grew up together in Pelham Bay and we shared many special times. I also attended Stuyvesant High School and we had a lot of close friends in school and the neighborhood. Who could forget playing basketball at the gym in Tremont Terrace Church and Ivar was our star player. He had a great jump shot and could score against the best players the opponents could offer. Ivar was also a very good softball player and you could say that he was a natural athlete. Our parents also knew each other well since they both were Scandinavian immigrants. We lost track of each other as we went to different colleges and relocated. However, I will never forget the friendship we shared and I know that he was extremely proud of his family and country. He will be missed.

I learned of Ivar's passing in the Stuyvesant H.S. Alumni Newsletter. I wish to express my condolances to Judith and Ivar's family.
Although I had not seen Ivar for more than 35 years, I can still remember his friendly, quiet smile that he always exhibited when we met.
In addition to attending Stuyvesant H.S. together (A member of the "M6 Clique"...as he signed my yearbook), we also attended and graduated CCNY together as well.
I remember him as a warm and congenial man. I am sure he was a wonderful husband, father and grandfather as well. It was a pleasure to have known him and I wish all of his family the best.

I was saddened to read Ivar's obit in the Stuyvesant newsletter. I have many fond memories of visiting you folks in New Hampshire. Our condolences to Judy and the family.
We lost Rudy on May 7th, 2009.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

To the Weberg family.
It was at the Jungle Warfare Training Center, Fort Sherman, in the Panama Canal Zone where I first met Ivar. When he arrived in late 1960, my active duty was almost over and I asked Ivar, if he would help me get a pictorial record of old Fort San Lorenzo at the mouth of Chagres River, one of the most romantic spots in Panama.
Ivar sacrificed an entire Saturday to take color slides of the different views (with me for human scale) of battlements, moats, underground chambers, old cannons, and the river bend where I had done so much treasure hunting. I hope that he had as much fun aiming a camera as I had directing him. I never thought that I would hear from him again, but last year he found my name and address and, after so many years we could reminisce about life at the JWTC. I received the news of Ivar's sudden death with shock and sadness, because I had always hoped that one of these days Yolanta and I would be able to meet him and his family for a friendly chat about days gone by. I am grateful to have met Ivar and shared a bit of the soldier's life together.
Love,
Indrikis (Henry) and Yolanta

To the Weberg family,
I met Ivar in 2004 through my position at the Merrimack Public Library. At first, I would see him almost every day when he came in to use one of our public computers, but after he got his own MAC, we saw him less frequently. He and I struck up a friendship when we found that we both had sons working in the entertainment industry. Though I knew nothing about his professional past, I could tell that he was smart and educated (not always the same thing) and I enjoyed our conversations. He always spoke so proudly of Bill and Warren, and I know he got a huge kick out of being part of their projects. I was shocked and saddened to hear that I had missed the news of his passing and only recently found out. Since then, I have had a chance to sit with Judy and hear the story of Ivar's sudden illness and last days. I'm lucky to have met Ivar, and I wish his family peace in their memories.

To the Weberg Family,
I was saddened to receive news from Judy that Ivar passed away. Ivar and I met on a professional basis but it wasn't long before a friendship developed. In fact, I cannot imagine anyone meeting Ivar professionally and then have the relationship end there. Vocationally he always went that "extra mile", and the warmth and generosity that was so much of his personality came through during the long conversations that he and I would share. I could tell that family was important to Ivar. His questions about my family were not perfunctory they were genuine, and he would always fill me in on the activities and accomplishments of his sons. The business world has lost a true professional and I have lost a good friend.

Dear Judy
We are so deeply saddened. We knew Ivar when he was a boy and he was a "Good Boy". We knew Ivar when he was a man and he was a "Very Good Man" that's the way it goes.
Although we spent so much time together during the high school years we regrettably did not see each other enough in later years. The memories are all there. Strong and happy when Ivar and you come into them.
We intended telling Billy and Warren that their father probably didn't brag enough about how great a basketball player he was when we saw them on our intended but regrettably not for filed, "Lets get together this year" visits. The undefeated church league seasons were due in a large part to Ivar's talent and character.
We wish that our great sadness could lessen yours but we're afraid it doesn't work that way. Carol and I will keep you, Ivar and his Boys in our prayers and memories now more than ever.
Love
Carol and Richie

Judy, Billy, Warren and Susan,
I've been thinking about each of you, often, since we lost "one of the greats."
Ivar was the man!
I've got alot of great memories about him: His appreciation of the game of hockey, when Billy and I played together in college. (Ivar and Judy were a couple of our biggest supporters. Judy brought a cowbell with her to the games, and she would ring it most loudly whenever Billy (who was hardest hitter on the team) distributed one of his patented checks. I always respected how Ivar and Judy appreciated the "finer" points of the game.) After college, Ivar, continued to express an interest in what I was up to. He knew the advertising agency business, and after I entered it, he would sometimes take the time to send me an interesting print ad, which would catch his creative eye. He always had insightful, witty comments. Over the many years that followed, Ivar, in his typically "selfless" manner, continued to express interest in what I was up to and how my family was doing. He was just one of those "good guys."
I last saw Ivar one cold day when he was working, building out a grip truck, alongside Billy. I remember thinking "How cool is that?"
Cool as Ivar!

Judy and family - Hearing of Ivar's passing and how in his last hours supported his family though gravely ill reminded me of the first time I met him. It was the enormous pile of hardwood from that nasty ice storm a few winters ago, and how through the generosity of Ivar and Judy kept a small house in Auburn warm through that next winter, the many pickup loads of wood with Ivar's help. The conversation always turned to his family. I understand he is pleased and proud of his two sons and enjoyed work and play, and he loved and respected his wife. A great man! He will be missed.

IVAR,
Always concerned more with the needs and wishes of others than with your own, I will continuously respect and admire your selfless devotion towards your family, friends, co-workers and acquaintances.
Your love, enthusiasm, and appreciation for others, your considerate, accommodating and friendly nature, your creativity, diverse interests and abilities, your intelligence, wit, and humor, your trusworthiness and reliability, as well as your vigor and passion towards life are qualities that I will forever be in awe of.
Thank you for sharing these qualities with us as generously as you have. You have been, and are, an enormous inspiration to me. You are an inspiration to many.
In memory and celebration of you, may we cherish these qualities, aspire to them, and treat others "THE IVAR WAY" throughout our daily lives.
Love and admiration,
Susan

Judy, Billy, Warren and Susan,
Words cannot express our shock over Ivar's passing. He was a dedicated husband and dad who was always there for his family. We will miss his ever-present smile.
We will always be grateful for Billy and Jeffrey's interest in youth hockey, as it has brought our two families together for a long and special friendship which has lasted for 35 years.
We will always treasure the memories of your 50th anniversary dinner which you so graciously invited us to be a part of.
Judy, you are blessed to have two wonderful sons and a special daughter-in-law, Susan, to get you through this trying time.
We will always be there to help you in any way we can. We are just a phone call away.

Dear Judy, Billy and Warren,
I am so sorry to hear of Ivar's death. He was so kind to me and such a great teacher when we worked together at Creative Coatings. He was a great example to a young girl just out of college about how a business person should conduct themselves.
I just saw Ivar about a year ago when he bought decals for a film-related business that he worked on with "his boys." He was so proud of the both of you and the fine men that you became.
Hopefully all the wonderful memories that you have will help ease the pain that you are feeling now.
Best regards,
Dawn Lancaster Mahoney

Billy & Warren: At this difficult time, I can only offer these words from Mark Twain, written over 100 years ago:
"When I was a boy of 14, I felt my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around.
But when I got to be twenty-one, I was astonished at how much he had learned in just 7 years."
Guys- ain't that the truth about each of us and our dads?

Although I only worked with your father a few times, I enjoyed sharing military stories with him, and had a common bond being a veteran myself. I enjoyed the story of why he kept the baseball cap on his knee when driving.
We pray his family finds comfort in knowing Ivar was a good man who accomplished much in his short time on earth. And Ivar can rest knowing he is with God, and that is the ultimate blessing any of us can hope for!

I am sorry to hear about the passing of your father. The few times I saw him working on a movie with both of you made me pause and think how special it must of been for him to be able to work with his sons.

Dad, I am blessed to have you as my father. Your life sets an example which will forever be a standard I strive to meet. You taught me so much. You are the most courageous man I have ever known.
Also Dad my birthday will never be quite the same but I will always have an extra special place in my thoughts for you that day wherever I am.
You will always be in my heart.
