Not sure what to say?

A poet with a camera. My condolences to his family.

Ivan was a cherished neighbor for almost 50 years. We will miss him. He was a gentle, kind agreeable person with great talent.

Ivan was a talented and romantic photographer. He captured light and shadow and beauty. My best to his family and of course to Bev who shared with her talent and love.

I remember your kindness.

Ivan used his powerful and sensitive talents to follow the dictates of his deeply caring conscience. His work will live on. This dear and humble man will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

I send my deepest sympathies to Ivan's entire family. Ivan and I first met in a beginning pottery class offered in the Concord Academy ceramics studio. I got to know him better after his son David attended The Cambridge School of Weston where I worked. I have always enjoyed hearing Ivan speak especially about his photography. In my home, I look at a framed print he made of a charming frog and continue to think of him often. Kristina Joyce

Ivan, you were a special inspiration to me as I tried to follow in your footsteps. I loved so many photos of yours, but especially the one of my brother Michael as Fidel Castro.
I'll miss your gentle humor. Suzanne

Dearest members of Ivan's family,

My thoughts and prayers are with you as you mourn the loss of Ivan. He truly celebrated humanity's loveliness and accomplishments through his photojournalism. It was a great blessing for me to see his many photographs over the years. May all the wonderful times you spent with Ivan bring you comfort during these sad days of mourning.
Love to you all,

My love to all of Ivan's extended family. He was a treasure and his work will live on.
