Ib was a wonderful man who played such a postive role in my life and the lives of my children and grandchildren. He and his wife Millie gave me such happy memories. We laughed and cried together but mostly laughed. Although he will be missed tremendously, I get peace knowing that he is with Millie and his lord and savior Jesus Christ. I asked Ib to give Millie a big hug and kiss for me last night with tear filled eyes then I sat with my son and laughed recalling all of our memories, picnics, card games. bochi ball games and everything and anything that came to mind. we laughed and we cried. May God bless and watch over his family that he loved so dearly. He will never be gone, those memories will last forever

Men of Integrity are hard to come by these days, this man was man among men. Ib was my friend, a friend and closest to a father I ever had. He taught me integrity, confidence, and to be kind and courteous. His true love for his wife and children and grandchildren, went beyond kind words. Never did a day go by. When I didnt hear him say how much he loved each one of them. How very proud he was. He was a pillar to all those that knew him. He was kind and courteous and always offered a positive side. He will be sadly missed, those those tears that are shed, have been collected by the Father and the Son. His savior Jesus Christ. Now he is happier than anyone could be to be home with his Millie and his Lord and Savior
