To the family and Roberta, as you know, Ivan and myself did a whole lot of fishing together. He was truly my best friend, and friend to my brother, Richard, sister Robin, and our mother, along with so many others. I attended his Memorial, as you know. He was a friend, that was a friend in every way, and will surely be missed for a long, long time.
