Gabriel A. Ivan

Speaking for myself and my late husband, Henry Kellermann, Gabe Ivan was a man to be respected.
He was a genuinely good person. God will keep him in his good graces. Gabe's family can be very proud.

He was a wonderful man,father, husband and grandpa. I am so glad I had the opportunity to know him. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.

After a transfer to the National Headquarters of Lawyers Title in 1986, I had the honor and pleasure to learn bankruptcy law from Gabe. He was one of the most gifted and insighful lawyers I have ever worked for, as well as a heck of a nice guy. Rest in Peace.

I sent the obituary to former colleagues at Lawyers Title. Here are some of the responses I received:
From New York: Gabe was a quality gentlemen and lawyer and a real American Hero
From Georgia: I knew Gabe was a helluva guy and retired military but never knew what an impressive resume he had.
From Virginia: He was a remarkable gentleman and one not to be forgotten.
From Tennessee: My first experience with Gabe came in our working together to draft the agreement for LTIC's acquisition of Mid-South Title and, then, the closing documents. Quickly I developed a respect for his ability and his integrity that only grew greater over the ensuing years
From another retiree: Gabe was someone everyone enjoyed being around.
From Michigan: Gabe was one of my favorite people at the Home Office, he was a friend and I enjoyed working and visiting with in Richmond and when he came up to Michigan.
I can only add that as a colleague, boss and friend he was outstanding.

"Your Father's & Grandfather's Military Service & the recognition he justly received are a lasting legacy for your family. It was my good fortune to work closely with him post military at Lawyers Title."

We love you and miss you Grandpa.

I love you Dad, I miss you

My thoughts and prayers are with you. May the Holy Spirit comfort you during the days ahead.

No bond is as great as that between a parent and child. My deepest condolences are with you as you grieve.
