Mr Ivens was my favorite teacher hands down. I was in class 246. I’m sorry I am just seeing this. He was the only teacher who could get a teenager excited about algebra at 8:30 am by saying “get strong”

Many thabks for these kind thoughts I appreciate them. Ethel

So sad to hear of Lou's passing. As one of my father Si's closest friends, I enjoyed his company, especially our friendly ping pong rivalry in my father's basement. I know my father will miss him terribly. My thoughts and prayers go out to Ethel and the rest of Lou's family.

As a member of the 242nd class of Central, Mr. Ivens was my Algebra 2 Honors teacher. 15 years later, I returned to Central and taught in the same room 145! He was a fun, enthusiastic, and challenging teacher. His passion for his profession was outstanding! Best wishes to the Ivens family at this time.

As a member of the 235th class at Central, l had Mr. Ivens as my Algebrs 2 teacher. I had a lot of trouble with Algebra 2. Mr Ivens took extra time with me to make sure I got it. Boy did I get it. Moved up to a B thanks to him. Years later, I was managing a store in Abington, when i noticed a man speaking with one of my sales people. Soon as I heard his voice, I knew who it was. I got that scared to death feeling. He remembered me fondly. We had a great chat. He was a great teacher, sometimes intimidating, but always passionate about the subject he was teaching, and more importantly, he had a passion for his students. Mr. Ivens, you one of the teachers at Central that left a lasting impression on me. I will miss you.

I did not know Lou well, but have fond and happy memories of him. He made me smile when he talked about mowing the lawn. I am happy we got to spend time together, and send loving condolences to the whole family.

With warm caring,
