From the halls of Corpus Christi high school to the Grotto at the University of Windsor, From the infamous trip to Florida in 1968. From the lunches of beer and pizza at the Caboto club to the coffee and St-Remi at his kitchen table or at my home, I have so enjoyed our discussions and admired his strength of character, resilience and fortitude. We will miss him but rest assured that his presence will always be there in some little way. Our deepest sympathies to Lisa, Yvette, Andre and Nadia.

Ivo and I first met in 1964 in Corpus Christi ( now F.J. Brennan) high school. He introduced himself to me and immediately spoke as though we were long time best friends. His warmth and openness were disarming. When I had car troubles he had me bring my car to his Dad's Sunoco garage for repair and then brought me to his house to meet his Mom. When he invited me to stay for dinner his Mom was caught by surprise and expressed concern that she might not have made enough food. Ivo dismissed that with a laugh and of course I stayed . As I tried to reciprocate with dinner at my house he would have none of it. This in capsule was the Ivo I knew. Ivo valued friendships and made extra efforts to keep in touch as he did with his stopovers visits in Kingston over the years .I will treasure these memories of a beloved friend. To Ivo's family, please accept my deepest condolences.

My heartfelt condolences and prayers on the passing of +Ivo. He was my parishioner when I was pastor at St. Mary's Ukrainian Catholic Church in the Sault many years ago and has kept in touch all these years through email. +Ivo was a kind and gentle soul, he was faith filled and always an encourager in my ministry. May God rest his soul, and may his memory be eternal. Monsignor Anton Szymychalski

My deepest condolences for the loss of your father. What a beautiful tribute to such a great man. I always remember him as a strong presence when we saw him. When he was over, he was like an uncle. All of us kids were so excited by his personality. We were all so lucky in the Soo to have such strong role models. The whole family always spoke so highly of him. He was the only person strong enough to have Moe change his mind when he didn’t want to. He offered Gerry and me our first beer. My dad was so mad but he knew the whole time we were going to pour it out as soon as we got out of sight- and we did! He laughed so hard. I remember it like yesterday. He was a strong mentor and like dad, he also taught us construction skills that were more valuable than we realized at the time. Beautiful memories but so tough for your family. Steve Chomniak

I loved your father. He was a good friend. We met at Corpus Christi High School in 1964, & stayed friends on to Univ. of Windsor. We spent hours (if not days) playing cards in the Grotto. I loss touch after he moved to Sault Ste. Marie, but connected again later. Whenever he came to Ottawa, we would chat, have a brandy & expresso, & go out for seafood.. We would talk of the friends we had, and those who were no longer with us. His passing is of profound regret for the times we still could have had. My prayers are for him. So sorry to Lisa, Yvette,,Andre & Nadia.
