My late husband and I met Cathy and Ivan when Ivan was taking his MBA at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario many years ago. Lost track of them and have often wondered what path their lives took. I am sure this obituary is the Ivan my husband and I knew and wondered if possible you could let me know how I may get in contact with Cathy, I see as his ex-wife. - Posted by: Rosemary Stoneman (Friend) on: Mar 07, 2014
