Our father Ivan was a loyal and faithful husband to our mother Kathy who he married on April 30, 1960 in Reno, Nevada. He met our mother in San Francisco Ca. in 1959. They were married for over 60 years. They were blessed with three beautiful boys, Ivan Jr., Frank, and Rick and several grandchildren and great grandchildren.
Our father had many accomplishments that he was proud of besides his family and taking them to church on Sunday. Ivan accepted his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and was baptized at Emmanuel Baptist Church. He became a United States citizen in 1970 and from then on he always identified himself as American First. He graduated from Cordova High night school at the age of 38 in 1978. He retired from the County of Sacramento, Department of Highways and Bridges with over 25 years of service.
Our father loved socializing with people, he would talk with everybody and anybody. He enjoyed being outdoors, whether it was camping, fishing, or just looking at the stars at night. If you were around during one of these trips....you always walked away with an unforgettable experience. He also enjoyed the flea market, garage sales, and of course...Red Hawk Casino!
