Robert Clifford I would like to send my heartfelt condolences to Ivica’s devoted
wife and family. I had the priviledge of meeting Ivica during the time that I worked for Frank’s Hauling. From the beginning we formed a great friendship, and I will always remember the respect that I was shown by this man, and will continue to reflect
on the little jokes that we shared. He also left me with some very wise words: Put simply: Enjoy every day to the fullest and appreciate the good things that you have in your life. People like Ivica do not come along every day. If they did this would be a better world to live in. I will also miss seeing him at the casino as he was always able to lift my spirits in his special way. Goodbye my friend and may you rest in peace.Your good friend
