In popular culture, it seems, the "father-in-law" is often portrayed as an over-protective, domineering man. Tough and cynical, I can honestly say that I could not have asked for a better father-in-law. Ivan was and will always be for me, a good friend. Kind, full of good humor, generous almost to a fault. While his death has left us all sad, his life has made all ours better. Thank you my dear friend Ivan.
