Kevin and Kathy:
Although I never had the opportunity to meet either of you, I did enjoy the bounty of knowing your father and working with him for a number of years. I will always remember Ivar for his tireless energy, quick wit, selfless assitance, endless support and his profound intellect. I regret I did not have a lot of contact with him in the last few years. He will be fondly remembered and dearly missed.
