Not sure what to say?

I just wanted to add a comment. I only recently learned of Ivan's passing. A large thank you to him and his family for providing the Soldiers and Sailors Club to our military for so many decades. I and my unit thoroughly enjoyed the hospitality and facility that was provided. God Bless you all and our military.

So very sorry for his passing. I met Ivan at the Army- Navy Game in Philadelphia. I was in the Navy and was in command of a group of Seabees in the New York area. We volunteered our services for projects at the Club on Lexington avenue. A thoroughly enjoyable experience over many years. Prayers and condolences to his family and friends.

Ivan was my first boss on Wall St. I was lucky enough to learn so much from him. May he Rest In Peace

Our paths crossed twice: once as a child in Rhinebeck, NY and then as a fellow Mason in NYC. George

Ivan is always in my thoughts and members of my family that he cared for. We hold him dear and give thanks for the times we shared together. A patriot of the highest order. A light that shone so bright it will live on ad infinitum. God keep you Ivan.


Please accept my sincere condolences.

You will always have a special place in my heart Mr. Obolensky. It was the ultimate privilege and honor to have been your personal assistant.
Eternal Memory

God bless his soul.

Losing someone that we love never comes easy. It is truly heartbreaking. May God's promises in Isaiah 65:17 comfort and help you.
