As many of you know, Ivory had an autobody shop down on S. 19th and K in Tacoma. We did work for him occasionally, I recall every time he came through the door, he was a blessing. His presence was the fruit of the spirit. After Dad passed, he came to our shop and prayed for my brother and I, no dry eyes that day. I wound up working in his shop for a time, what an experience! He was an excellent example of Love. I can't forget the day I was a bit frustrated, he came over and heard me out, then told me, "my friend, go turn on that music you listen to and have a party working on that car". My condolences to the family. So thankful for his influence in my life. In love, Lon.
