I attended New Berlin Central School with Ike, and I have many fond memories of being in classes with him. I specifically remember many wonderful moments when we took Driver Education class together with Mr. Van.
Ike was so likable and fun to be around. I send my sincere condolences to his family at this difficult time.

Dear Bonnie and family - I was overwhelmingly saddened to read of your loss.  Ike was a good neighbor, and I'm sure a vital part of your family.
 In the years we were neighbors in Beaver Meadow, I'm glad over many occasions we got to be together.
I'm trusting and praying for y'all that the Lord Himself be your comfort in fresh and tangible ways.  Remember Jesus said, "come to Me all who are heavy burdened, and I will give you rest."  (Matt. 11:28).  Psalm 23 is a good psalm to show us the comfort He gives to those who are His sheep.  May the Lord Himself - He Who gave Himself intimately for each of us on Calvary's cross - be yours and your family's comfort during this season.  Love you guys!  Jeremy & Thuvia Stopford
