The Marsh has many great qualities, the best one being the people you meet and special bonds made. Ivan was very special to me. Our conversations and lunches will be a lasting memory for me. My love to all, especially Kathy, Cindy and Leo.

My friend Ivan was a mentor of mine while we worked together at Inter-City Paper Co. He understood "service" to the printing industry.

While I never met Ivan, I know from my father Mike O'Brien and from Cindy and Hugh, what a great character he was and what a full life he lived. I am a big fan of him despite never being able to meet him! May the memories of his life comfort you all in your time of loss.
