Wish I could thank Ivan for all the good stories. Now that he's on his Big Walkabout, I'm sure he's telling plenty more. "Hope to catch up with you later, mate."
All the best to the family,
Anthony Kippen (a Brother of the Brush in Milwaukee)

I am very fortunate to have only seen the positive side of Ivan. He has always been a pleasant person and treated me with respect. One of the things that I loved about him is how musically inclined he was. During our conversations together, he would question me, which made me think a lot and challenged my brain. I will never forget him and hope to see him again one day.

I knew and worked with Ivan. We were at Jones Island and Baumeister together. He was a friend.

To the Baker Family,
I cannot find the words to express how very sad I am for the loss of Wayne. He was a wonderful, caring, compassionate man. He was not only the love of my life, he was a wonderful friend. I want you all to know if there is anything I can do for any of you, I am just a phone call away. I was so lucky to get that second chance with him. He will always be in my heart!

To my brother..In the struggle of life I have found..Some of it's magic, some of it's tragic, but we had a good life all the way..The many far off memories will make me smile when I sit in the quiet by myself.

As someone who worked with Ivan for years, I know I will miss his company. He was an expert craftsman who could make the day fly by with jokes, stories, and debates about music and philosophy that were never resolved, but always evolving. He never wasted a moment, and filled every space he was in with an unforgettable personality and presence. Peace and hugs to the family.
