Not sure what to say?

I am so sorry for your loss. Ivan was my boss for many years. He was a great guy. He would joke around with employees. RIP IVAN

My sympathy to you girls in the passing of your dad. We loved your folks. God´s blessing on you during this difficult time.

Thank you for your service Sir

To the family of Ivan Ploeg. My husband, Jack Thornton grew up in Dutton playing with Ivan and all of the Ploeg kids. They had so many great memories together going back to Dutton elementary and high school. They spent many days rooming around Dutton. I will always remember Jack telling me that the kids of Dutton would fight to get the mail bag off the train and bring it in the general store, who ever got it there first would get an icecream cone! Jack and Ivan worked at Steelcase...

I remember Ivan as a "Fun Guy" at the Steelcase Retirees Club meetings. We were saddened to learn of their accident. We offer our sympathy to the family.

My sincere condolences to the family of Ivan Ploeg. Ivan was my first supervisor at Steelcase and was always very caring and considerate. I admired his ability to be compassionate while still performing the many and demanding duties of a supervisor. I am so thankful I had the opportunity to visit him at the nursing facility and share memories. Tom Agnello
