Ivan (I) was the manager of our softball team (QuickPower). Our team was a mix of characters who Ivan brought together to make a really good team. He showed us warmth and toughness when needed. He expected our team to have integrity, win or lose, and most of all never quit. I believe Ivan showed those qualities through his 92 years of life. Ivan was great man and coach.
Love You I

There was never a time that Ivan didn't have a beaming smile on his face. Of course, I saw him at the baseball fields, and the corn roasts, so what wasn't there to smile about. He and Bonnie ALWAYS looked at eachother with such love in their eyes. I absolutely loved summers when I knew I would get to see him at the ballpark, even though I was usually the one that everyone picked on :). It was a pleasure knowing him, if even just for summer fun. He always made me feel special.
I am so sorry for your loss, but glad he is back with Bonnie. Sending lots of prayers for you all.
Ivan is my Step-Grandpa. I will never forget spending a day at the National Infantry Museum at Ft. Benning Ga with Ivan. He was there for his grandson (my step-brother) Ben’s Graduation from Basic Training and I was the defacto tour guide since I was stationed there in the Army. He was so proud of Ben and his patriotism was through the roof. It was great seeing the museum through his eyes since half the equipment in there was what he used in his service! He was a great story teller and me and Sam (my step-dad) were just rolling with laughter and joy at how pumped up he was. It was beautiful weather and just one of those perfect days that stays with you. I loved playing cards with him and Bonnie and my family (you best bring your A game to any Giese event where the score is kept). He always made me feel like a son, and he loved my family. I’ll miss my Christmas card from him this year and will always keep the memory of him in that veteran hat, he was a young man again that day.
