Uncle Ivan,

I know its been a while since I saw you last and I will not see you for a while yet, but I have all the good memories of you when I was growing up that will remain with me forever that I will cherish the most.

I am also thinking of the rest of the family during this sad time.

I was a great friend of Ivan's. It saddens me that he has passed away. I won't be able to get to the funeral as I have no transportation or license to drive and there are no busses at this time. So I will send some flowers.

Uncle Ivan may you rest in peace. Thanks for the memories you have left us all with. From building our bikes, to driving you around when we got our license. Your humour and smile was always appreciated. May you make sure the road to heaven has no pot holes and take care of nana and granddad. Enjoy the big E Hayes & Sons in the sky. See you one day and love to all the family in NZ.
