    Ivan, I think back to our times together when as teenagers, you, Dar, Bruce and I would go on crazy adventures. We had such fun enjoying those days and making memories. Then came class reunions where we would gather to reminisce over old times, laugh and remember. It is a deep felt loss to say goodbye to such a good friend, and I thank the Lord for Dar’s presence in my life. To your family we pray for peace in your hearts as you remember the good times. In sympathy, Mike and Sandy
