Dr Elkan was my doctor for almost 40 years. I was his longest patient and believe me he will be missed. He taught me about my Pottassium problem for years. Advice l listen to and followed because of this very very good Doctor. I loved his taste for classical music and miss him sooooo very much. Valerie McDonald

I met Ivan through Aldo and Anita Maggiorotti's Friday Night opera group in the early '90s, and we became good friends. Over the 25+ years, Ivan and I had many, many discussions and laughs over all things musical/operatic, not to mention life. His friendship will always be fondly remembered. Requiescat in Pace, Ivan.

Dear Ivan and his family were very close family friends to my parents from the time they lived in Budapest. I had the privilege of knowing Ivan since I was a child. Ivan was a very kind, caring, compassionate and intelligent man, who enjoyed life to the fullest. Ivan was a real gentleman with that old European charm. I am grateful that he was a part of my life for so many years and for the times we had together. My partner and I will miss him dearly. Our sincerest condolences go out to Yuki and Ken. Much Love, Paul and Brian.

A very talented, caring, and generous man who gave years of love, advice and support to his family and many friends. A person with strong personal beliefs, who loved nothing more than to debate his ideas with others. He loved his role as mentor, teacher, and opened the minds of most he came in contact with as he shared his love for art, music, history, and literature.
He will be missed.

We will miss our very dear friend of 35 years with whom we had so many laughs and social gatherings, especially the countless sunday morning breakfasts. Ivan was an exceptional man with so many fine qualities and who was erudite in many fields. All who knew him will have benefited greatly from the experience.

A wonderful friend. We have known each other since grade one in elementary school in Budapest. We then went, at different times, to Institut Montana in Zugerberg in Switzerland. We then connected up here in Toronto and remained close friends right until Ivan's passing. A wonderful old school gentleman, music lover and individualist. I'll miss him greatly

He was truly a gentleman who had a penchant for Spanish wines and collecting Scotch. He will be missed by many members of the Spanish wine club. We would love to know when the celebration of life is going to take place.
