Uncle Ivan, I don’t have many memories with you except for one, however, with that one memory it will be cherished with me in everything I do throughout life. The memory I have is at the family reunion last year and you couldn’t believe how much I’ve grown. You told me that when I was little I was a little brat. Best story I’ve heard about me when I was little. I have heard many stories about how funny and loving you were and I’m absolutely sure that we will continue to share memories. I do know that you are enjoying the family you have in heaven with you and we will all see you again. I’m extremely sorry to the family for their loss and I know that we will meet again and I will love to learn more about you in time when we meet again in heaven. Love you always and forever! You will not be forgotten.
Uncle Ivan you will be dearly missed. I will always cherish all the memories, fun times and stories we shared.You will always be in my heart. You may rest eternally in heaven as your work here on earth is done. I’m thankful for the privileged time to see you once again at last family reunion up here. To aunt Cathy and uncle Ivan’s family, my deepest sympathy to you all at this sad time of loss. He was a great man. We all should be thankful for having him in our lives. Love you uncle Ivan.
Butch was a life long friend of over 50 yrs he may not of been a brother by blood but was definitely by heart. He and Cathy have done so many wonderful things not only for my family but for any one they would encounter . He loved to be the jokester always wanting people to laugh and that we did. You will forever be in our hearts and minds, you are at peace now go rest and know that I will always be here to look in on Cathy as you asked. I love you my dear friend! Cathy if there is anything you need you know Judy and I are just a flight away.
All our Love,
Ray, Judy, and family

Uncle Ivan, I only got to know you for a few short years but you will forever be in my heart. I am so glad we got to see you again last year, those memories at the reunion will last a lifetime. We are all going to miss you so much until the next time in heaven. My sympathies go out to Cathy and your family. May God hold you tightly in his embrace for eternity.
Uncle Ivan will be missed dearly. The first time I met him was at Darlene’s house about five years ago. Then another time I saw you was at the family reunion last year. You had a drawing for a bike and I won it. Now I will keep that bike safe and it will remind me of you. And we will miss you so much for being a great man.
great uncle Ivan I’m so sad to hear; but I know you are in the arms of the lord , going to miss you and your laughs and care. you will always be in my heart and mind all tho I may never see you again in person , you’ll always be in my dreams .. love you uncle Ivan
I love you uncle and I will miss you and all of the good ties we had. You will always be in my heart and mind. I will miss you till I see you in heaven.
Cathy, my heart goes out to you and the kids. wished I could have come out. So long Butch. I always thought of you as a big old TEDDY BEAR with a huge heart. You will be greatly missed. Love to you all, and help keep, each other strong.
Chico was the first friend I made when I moved to Arizona. He was a kind man with a huge heart and great sense of humor. Chico will be certainly missed by his friends here, however I think Heaven has gained a truly wonderful soul.
My granddaughter Alyssa asked me if I thought that Grandpa had already met Chico? I told her that I was sure he was waiting for Chico to thank him for being so kind to our family. That’s the type of person Chico was.
Cathy, my heart truly hurts for you and the family. You all are in my thoughts and prayers.
