Your with our loved ones who have gone on before you so I know your doing fine but it doesn't take away the hurt of not having you here with us I will always love and miss you.





We just found out about Ivan's accident.  We were shocked.  Ivan was a great neighbor in Sandy Harbor, and we missed him so much when he moved away. Our prayers go out to his family.



We are sorry to hear of Ivan's passing.
I (Phyllis) knew him from when I worked in
metal etch.
Our prayers go to his family.



I am so sorry to hear about Ivan passing. I knew and enjoyed him for many years in Motorola. We had a lot of great times in and outside of work. He was a man of true character and always looked out for the best for everyone he called his friend.  I know he'll be missed but never forgotten.  



Ivan and I spent a lot of time together working in MOS-8 Thin Films. Over the years Ivan taught me a lot about getting things done; mostly that there was only one goal and that was getting the best performance possible from our equipment. Our friendship grew both at and away from work where we shared our interest in bass fishing. He was a friend and trusted colleague who I could always turn to for advise.



I had the pleasure of working with Ivan in MOS-8 at Motorola, where we worked in Thin Films together. Thinking of Ivan brings a big smile, remembering his laugh, the twinkle he'd get in his eyes telling stories about wearing out the dance floor at Dallas, or flirting with the women in the fab. A weekly meeting wasn't complete without Ivan saying something that made the group burst out in laughter. He was a hard worker who gave his best with integrity and loyalty. 
He always spoke of his daughter with pride and love. We were very sorry to hear of his passing, and all of his family members are in our thoughts and prayers.
Here's to you Ivan!
Sincerely,
Chris Belden



So much I could say about Ivan. I have known him since the early days of MOS2 Motorola. We both worked in MOS8 and then in Quality. He always had everyone either shaking their head or laughing at his stories. Ivan was a big flirting good 'ole boy, and everyone loved him. I know I share the sentiment with many former co-workers, wishing we had stayed in closer contact the past few years...but that's just how life is. Farewell Ivan. We were blessed to know you. Nick and I are keeping your family in our prayers.



So sad to hear of Ivan's passing.  I met him at Motorola MOS-2 MANY years ago.  He was a great friend.  I am sure he is already missed by many.  He loved his family and he was a kind person to all.  I hope the good memories will help everyone through this difficult time.  I know he is already at his new job: Guardian angel.  RIP, Ivan



I will make this short and sweet.  I worked with Ivan.  I can attest that he help make Motorola a profitable business.  His commitment to family and work was second to none.  Ivan you had an incredible amount of integrity, which I have admired.  I am sorry to hear of your passing, may you rest in peace.  The world has lost a great human being..... You have contributed to society, business and technology more than you know or ever could be realize.  I hope your family finds closure and peace.  Ivan, I hope that I see you on the other side and that we can share stories... My blessing.
Troy



Hi Ivan, I had the pleasure of knowing the ONE "TURKEY MAN" for 10 years. I SO Enjoyed being your dancing partner. Hope you find several Angels in Heaven to keep you Dancing.
Take Care.



Thou I never had a chance to share a lot of time with you while I was growing up I always looked up to you. You were not handed an easy life but you held your head up and overcame any and all obstacles in your way but never forgot your roots or family. You inspired me to take on challenges and to keep trying until I could overcome them, and to respect my family and friends and treat all people with equal respect. I will never forget you and believe you will be looking down from above and will as be by my side forever.
You will truly be missed.



Sammy and I have know Ivan since 1968.  We first met him at TI in Dallas then worked with him in MOS-2, MOS-8 and Quality at Motorola.  Sammy even worked with Ivan at a short lived startup disk drive company in the mid '80s.  We have such wonderful memories of him at work but also at Lake LBJ on the boat.  One of the best is the time he drove in our driveway honking the horn of a bright red mustang convertible sporting a big grin.  He was a wonder family man and great friend.  He will be greatly missed by many family and friends.



Ivan was one of the first people I met and worked with at Motorola in Austin. We worked in MOS-2 at the Ed Bluestein site in the early 1980's. Ivan was a great mentor, full of funny stories. He always made the work day a little lighter with his sense of humor. I used to see Ivan at his place in Sandy Harbor on Lake LBJ after he retired. We laughed about the good old days working together in MOS 2 and MOS 8 with Motorola. Ivan will be missed, my condolences to his family on your loss.
