Condolence: Every time I think of Ivan I think of his ready smile, quick wit, upbeat personality, and love of a good story.He always had a knack for bringing out the best in people and we'll always cherish the time we spent with him. From tolerating our dog's habit of stopping by for a free snack to inviting me to join him for a round of golf, to volunteering to help organize a treasure hunt for the kids, Ivan was always up for an adventure and carried himself with a laugh and a kind word. We will always miss him. All the best Inge, our thoughts are with you. Mark Langford

Condolence: Inge and family. My most sincere condolences at this very difficult time. You and Ivan were an awesome couple. Ivan was a happy, friendly man who respected people. Memories last forever and I am sure you have many.

Condolence: During the era when Trish and I connected most frequently with Ivan and Inge, there were two usual departure points; one was the Pembroke Airport, and the other was the Pembroke Marina. Both places led to memorable experiences that remain dear to us this day. So sorry that our return to the Valley wasn't soon enough, we planned to return many favours. You will be missed ....

I spent one memorable day with Ivan dog sitting, that I will always cherish. RIP.

Condolence: To the Reckzin families, When I first came to Pembroke Ivan Reckzin was one of the first names I heard. As the years went by he stayed one of the most familiar names of the household.

EVEN DURING IVAN'S ILLNESS, HE ALWAYS WAS SO UPBEAT AND NEVER COMPLAINED. HE WAS THE ETERNAL OPTIMIST. HE ALWAYS SPOKE SO HIGHLY OF YOU INGE. YOU WERE THE LOVE OF HIS LIFE. MY DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO YOU INGE, NANCY AND FAMILY. BRENDA REID

Condolence: I had the privilege of becoming friends with Ivan when I joined the golf group a few years age. I found Ivan to be a caring and friendly individual who could give back my ribbing usually better than I could hand it out. Never once during his illness did I hear him complain . He fought that terrible disease that has touched us right to the end. Ivan will be in all our thoughts on the links this summer . He will be a great miss. Rest in peace my friend.

Condolence: My heartfelt condolences Inge and Nancy. My prayers are with you
