My sympathy to Dr Ivance's family and to Allison, knowing your father from my early days in nursing and met him before Covid days at the clinic. He was a wonderful surgeon and man of God who loved and served God and enjoyed talking about his family with much love too. Allison it was a pleasure getting to know you at work. May God's peace and memories of joy fill your grieving hearts.

My sincere condolences, prayers to you and your family. My Mom Winnie Olsen worked at Capitol Orthopedics for 16 years. I was always fond of him growing up, he gave her a good job there while my Mom was raising me alone. He gave me and my husband of 31 years the clock that hangs on our livingroom wall as a wedding present. That clock has been a staple in our home all these years. When it chimes I will always think of the wonderful man and doctor he was.

Dear Joy and family, I'm so very sad to hear of Dick's passing. Like we talked about in Costco's parking lot, a few weeks ago, we can be so thankful to know he's now walking streets of gold with his Savior. There is comfort in knowing that, but the depth of loss still breaks our human hearts. Please know we are praying the Lord will give you abundant measures of comfort, strength and peace during these days. Sending love, hugs and prayers.
