So very little can be said at times like this, but I wanted you to know that Ivan was so much appreciated and his passing was devastating to hear. During my employment with ANSER, Ivan always was willing to go over and above his responsibilities to help you solve your IT problems. What a tremendous loss to everyone who knew this great man. Warm, caring thought are with Honey and the entire family.
