Hi Mardi and Girls
After the service and reception today I had a chance to reflect on the past 30 odd years with great memories. We will miss Ives and every time I hear the word "outstanding" I will think of Ives & the great times we had either on the golf course, Ball Field, snooker table or Red Bay Lodge or just having a few drinks. I could go on and on but now I'll just say adios.

It was with great shock and sadness that I learned of Ivars' passing today. I very much enjoyed Ivars' positive and upbeat view of the world and perpetual good cheer. My deepest condolences with Ivars' passing. This was truly many years too soon.

It will be the little things that you (we) will remember, the quiet moments, the smiles, the laughter the energetic greeting. I have known Ivars for over 25 years if not longer and cant believe he is gone.

Although it may seem hard right now, it will be the memories of the little things that help to push away the pain and bring the smiles back again.

May it comfort you and your family to know that others care.

My Prayers and Thoughts are with his family and friends.

He will be missed.

To the Teteris family. I had the pleasure and privilege of spending highly enjoyable time with Ivars, every other November on our golf trips to Myrtle Beach. Of particular note was the way Ivars always welcomed me and my friends with his traditional "Stinger" drink upon our arrival at the hotel. It became a much anticipated tradition. He was a fine gentleman, a good soul and a good friend. I will miss him greatly. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I was so shocked to hear of the passing of Ivars. I had the pleasure of knowing this fine gentleman through ACMO and golf trips to Myrtle Beach.His smile and positive attitude were infectious and I will never forget his greeting when asked how he was doing..."outstanding!" He was truly outstanding and will be greatly missed by those like myself who were so fortunate to call him our friend. Rest in peace buddy and I'm sure you've already had a 'stinger' and checked out the course up there! My sympathies to his wife Mardi and the whole family.

Ivars was a collegue who became a friend and someone who i always looked forward to seeing.
Mardi and Family - You should know the impact that Ivars had on the lives of those whose path he crossed in the course of business.
I have been on golf trips with him and always looked forward to seeing him at ACMO functions.
Rest easy my friend and know that the lives of those you met are richer for having known you.

My condolences go out to the Teteris Family. Although I only knew Ivars for a short period of time, I will never forget his fun-loving personality, and of course my golfing partner's wacky golf pants at last year's ACMO golf tourney. You will be sadly missed my "OFS" friend.

My sincere sympathies to Ives' wife and family. I have known Ives for many years through various work related Associations and events. He always sought me out to shake my hand, and he always responded that he was outstanding. I have said to many over the years that he was the most positive spirit in any room, so thanks for your friendship and lesson in staying "sunny" without fail. I will miss you Ives and will always remember you.
