A nice guy, very knowledgeable. A pleasure to have known at Calgary Transit.
So sorry to hear of Ivan's passing. Our deepest sympathy to all your family.
As life goes by I shall not forget Ivor!s eagerness to share his thoughts and knowledge when I asked. In conversation he always had more to say than I, but then of course what he said always rang true. I will always feel privileged to have known him and to have listened.
Please accept our sincere condolences. Ivan was a good friend to me and a very good friend to my family. My thoughts and prayers go out to your family.
So sorry to hear Ivan is gone. I worked with him for years at Transit. He always had a story to tell and I could talk to him for hours. Whenever I needed help with my car he was my go to guy. He will be missed.
I am very sorry to hear about you dad. Deepest sympathies to Niki and the Boyartchuk family.
Niki and Carol..I am so sorry for your loss. I remember him from the hockey in Calgary and how devoted he was to you Niki.A huge loss . Sending prayers and hugs your way Bev
I'm sorry to hear of your loss Niki.
Each morning as the sun rises, rays of light and love emanating from you will shine down on your family and friends. If one pauses for a moment they will know that you are present and continue to walk as a spirit of light by their side. Light is never ending and goes for an eternity. One day all paths of light will merge and all your family and friends will once more walk together with you as spirits of light forever.
So sorry for your loss Niki. You dad was a wonderful man- I'll always remember him coming to watch our hockey games and coming out with the girls after. Know that our family is thinking of you.
Our thoughts are with Ivan's family at this time. I had the privilege of working with Ivan at International Harvester in the early 1960's.
