family life when his Canadian-born father died young and his mother boarded him with to an elderly couple (Lived with old couple Mr. and Mrs. Edwards)
so she could go to work. Service in the U.S. Army during World War II added
to his challenges as he was shipped to Japan to "clean up" after the United

years. Ivan's search for happiness and fulfillment took him through two more marriages, and finally ended with a series of debilitating strokes at
62 years old. Ivan had three wives."
