Ivar Ludwig Anderson II

Dear Susan, Ivar D, Jim' We loved Ivar! Our lives are richer because of his friendship. We will miss him immeasurably. We will miss his enthusiasm. We will miss his tickled laughter, and quick wit retorts. We will miss hearing about his latest great discovery or find. We will even miss his questioning doubt of things.
We believed, as a true friend, he would be there for each or both of us, if ever we called upon him.
So many fun times and laughter shared with Ivar are now wonderful...

Ivory,

Drinking with all the dock workers in those dive bars by the waterfront while I talked to them in Polish& Serbo-Croatian. Your requests for entertainment, I with the help of those drunken dock workers we tried to honor! We did, didn't see you for 18 hours- till you finally showed up all...

I knew Ivar for 40 years. We stayed in touch for most of that time. There were periods of time when we didn't see each other but we always reconnected. I looked forward to our frequent lunches.

I enjoyed so much our conversations about everything from whisky, wine, cigars, politics, birds, travel and any number of things. You are missed, my friend. Terry &...

I worked with Ivar for many years. He was a great guy to have around when working in stressful situations since we were always able to find some humor to smooth over the tough spots. I liked working with him a lot. I remember one time he came into my office and said rather sinisterly that he had pictures of me when I was a kid. Then he told me I had gone to grade school with his wife Susan. So I said, that must mean I have pictures of your wife when she was a kid and we had a good...

I knew Ivar at the City of Portland, and enjoyed our working relationship and his friendship. What a good guy he was. I'm sure he'll be missed.

Blessings to his family and friends at this time of loss.

We have so many fond memories w/ Ivar and Susan to count; so many laughs. Ivar we will miss your presence, wit and kindness. Our thoughts & prayers to Susan and family. Shari & Mike
