Our deepest sympathy to Mrs Ivy and Mr. Ivy's family:We are neighbor's to the Ivy's. He was always out and about. Always piddling. I can remember one day he came strolling down the driveway with his shorts, shirt, cowboy hat and suspenders on my husband said "that's Mr. Ivy for Ya" he and my husband talked on seveal occasions. I know he will be greatly missed by his family. These are are very hard times but the Sun will Shine. May you rest in peace Mr. Ivy say "hello" to our son Rodney for us whom we lost on November 4, 2014. Wilbur and Silvia Benoit
