My condolences to all of Ivan's family. I met Ivan at my sister and brother in laws wedding in October 1971. I was 12 years old and he was 13 years old. I saw him on and off over the years. We always knew who each other was. I remember that he was kind to me. He liked to have a good time. I know his family will miss him very much. I will never forget him.
