Faith and Paul at daughters wedding

Ivan was my "boss" at Bendix Computer Division but so much more than a "boss". He and Junie were good friends that I had planned to visit in Indio but never got around to it. I know I will see them both in Heaven and we will be good friends for ever.

I was so sorry to hear of Ivan's passing. He was such a wonderful person and I treasured his friendship for many years. I know Junie will miss him so much. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. The world was a better place with Ivan in it. He will be sorely missed.

I will miss Ivans "long walks" down to my store in the heat of summer to compare business stories, have his glasses adjusted or just share a joke! He was one of the most spectacular men I have ever known. A fine example of chivalry, piety and righteousness. I purchased my wedding set from Ivan and Junie, as did half the young couples in Indio!The 25 years we spent together in the Kmart Shopping Center are, and will always be, treasured times.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Ivan was a wonderful man, so kind; and he always made me smile. I was blessed to know him.

Our prayers and thoughts are with you all at this difficult time.
Love, Peg and Bob Leo

I'm very sorry to hear of Mr. Munson's passing. My condolences go out to his family and friends. I remember growing up in Indio and that if you wanted anything jewelry related you went to Munson's. Thank you for your service to our Country and rest in peace.

When I worked in the office at Evangelical Free Church (former Southwest name), I recall Ivan's keen sense of humor. It was a privilege to have shared time with Junie and him. Marina Karas

As fine a man as I've known. I miss my friend.

Ivan was a wonderful, godly man and will be missed very much. We enjoyed spending time with you, laughing, and sharing military stories and stories about our families. We appreciated your quick wit and sense of humor. You will be missed and thought of fondly.
