Pam and I were so sorry to learn of Ivor’s passing. He was such a great guy; he always had a smile on his face and something pleasant to say. From time to time, we look at our wedding pictures and are reminded of the many people who we did not invite, but who showed up to hear The Production Company. Ivor and his band made our special day even more special and his friendship touched our lives deeply. We hope that all of the memories of the happy times you shared will bring comfort to you now. Love, Bill & Pam Harvit

Dear Sheff Family,
I am so sorry to hear that Ivor has passed away. He was such a wonderful person, who was kind and generous. He was also one of my dad’s best friends. I grew up watching him play music and later when I was in middle school, I would beg my dad to take me to his shop. I sending loving and healing thoughts to you and your family during this time.
My sincere condolences,
Detra “Michelle” Price

Margie, I was saddened to hear of Ivor’s passing. Several times over the last 10 years, I have stopped at Ivor’s Trunk to see if I could reconnect with him. Sadly, we were never able to connect. Ivor’s passing, along with the recent passing of your mother, must be very difficult for you. I just wanted you to know I was thinking of you during this difficult time.
Your old friend…Bob
