To Miriam and the van de water family.
Please accept my sincere condolences for the tragic loss of Ivan. As you will be i am in total shock and i am finding it difficult to believe that Ivan has passed. It was only a few weeks ago that o caught up with Ivan Anthony and Kevin at the Skope classic motorsport event. Just as we did most years.
MAY IVAN REST IN PEACE
