Dear Billy, Howard, Phyllis, and Mary - Please accept my belated (I was out of the country) condolences for what is certainly a profound loss for each of you, as well as for the community. Your dad was a supermensch, and always had a friendly hello and a warm handshake for me whenever our paths would cross. Just wanted you to know that each of you is in my thoughts at this difficult time.

Phyllis,
My sincerest sympathy goes out to you and your family during these difficult times. Mr. Novick is home now (I can't say resting because even though I have only known him for a short period of time, he seemed to always be running around handling something. So I am sure he's probably movin and groovin right at this moment in Heaven). You, Steve and the girls are in my prayers. Take care. Marcie

Mary, Howard, Bill, and Phyllis,
It's very hard to find words to express my sorrow for the loss of an extremely devoted husband, father, and "papa". Ivan has had an impact on so many people in his life. I feel luckyl to have been a part of this family for the last 32 years, and that Ivan loved me through thick and thin.
