Posted 30 September 2026

Anthony, Bev and David wish to thank all who have supported them in various ways during Ivan's brief and sudden illness and at the time of his passing, with special thanks to Sue Chapman. The lovely personal messages of sympathy, cards, letters, flowers, food, phone calls and tributes have been appreciated. A special thanks to Wellington Free Ambulance personnel, and the dedicated Drs and staff at Wairarapa Hospital for their wonderful care of Ivan; and to Rev So'otanga Misikei and Limoe Kelly for their comforting words. We have appreciated the kindness of you all and are comforted in the knowledge that Ivan has touched the lives of so many wonderful people.
