Great memories of the Zambessi man, full of music and crac. Beginning with the Tec in the mid 50's and ever since, who could forget, Ivan, the true gentleman. So sad to hear of his passing.

Very sorry to hear of Ivan's passing. We knew him for years and we listen regularly to his songs which brings back a lot of memories. Our thoughts are with you. Joyce & Frankie McVitty - Enniskillen

Sincere sympathy to Elizabeth and Family from some old friends in Enniskillen. We kept Ivan's last email to us and I've just read it out again to my cousin Bernie. It made us laugh. He was a very witty and lovely man who will be sadly missed by all who knew him. Please know that we are thinking of you all at this sad time. Jean & Ivor Harron Enniskillen
