Most of all, however, he loved his family. He was a cherished brother, devoted husband, and caring patriarch to his family.
Ike was funny and fun-loving, and he never met a stranger. He was friendly and well-liked by everyone. Even through illness, he held a positive attitude and never complained.
Ike will be missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him.
