Dear Elaine ,  My condolences to you and your family circle on the passing of your loved one.   It was an honour working with Dr. McIvor.   I remember his many stories…his sense of humour… Even though he has left us,  memories will remain in our hearts and minds.   Thinking of you,  Judy Simonson

First of all, I’d like to show my condolences to Papa Joe’s family. I remember Papa Joe and Granny Elaine picking me up every morning to drive me to school. He treated me like I was his own grandson. There was a weird dentist figure down at the basement of his house- me, my sister, and my two other friends were surprised when we found out that it was Papa Joe’s figure kind of thing (at least, that’s what I remember). I remember when Jubilee, Amber, and Myla forced me into a teacup party at his house… he and granny Elaine would smile every time the girls lectured me about pointing my pinky out when holding the teacup. One thing from his fashion that I remember is that his cowboy hat was the fanciest I’ve seen. He was one of the sweetest people I’ve come across to in my life. Rest in peace Papa Joe. We’ll meet soon together in heaven, and I’ll remember to greet you with a long, warm group cuddle with Granny Elaine.

We would like to express our condolences to Dr. McIvor’s family.  He was a wonderful, kind, gentle individual.
He was respected and admired by three generations of our family who benefited from his knowledge and skill, including orthodontics for the two youngest members ….now mid-forties.
My parents were fortunate to be neighbours on Marine Drive.
Our thought are with you all.
Sincerely,
Ted and Wendy Robertson (nee Stalker)

Hi Elaine, Jennifer , Marissa, Alan and grand people,  My thoughts are with you during time of loss of someone who can not be replaced.   Know other are thinking of you as you make this adjustment. Have great memories of growing up with double first cousins and especially the last time Joe was on the Island , after the reunion, at Desmond's cottage hearing about singing on the bus in Ireland!
Stay well.  Will make a donation to St. Malachy's cemetary where Margaret, Bill and Clifford are buried.  Betty McIver

Sincere sympathy on Joe's passing. We were classmates in High School and university at St. Dunstan's on PEI. I was unaware that Joe lived in Surrey or would have contacted him when I visited a brother in law who worked for the town. An opportunity I now wish I had known.
In Joe's name I will make a donation to a charity in  Saint John, NB.
May he rest in peace.
Dick Tingley

I'm sorry to hear of his passing.  Warm condolences to the family.  Colleen Wilkie

What memories do I share?  First, I never related to other kids' fear of the dentist... unless I was trick-or-treating and hoping for something other than Trident gum!  Then, I knew the McIvor house was NOT my destination.  But any other occasion, be it for my years of rides to school, where Dr. McIvor happily tolerated our teenage-girl energy and talk, and then taught Jenny to drive & eventually sent us on our own way in the car by ourselves, or the years of Jen's birthdays on their sailboat, "Tinker," out of Blaine Harbour, when he taught me a bit about sailing and let me take the wheel even in some wind, or when he was gardening, renovating, or teaching me about the P.E.I. flag he flew in the backyard, I wholly appreciated Joe's calm, patient way of being, accepting, and leading.  I am better for having known him, and thankful for all he shared in life.  Rest in peace, Dr. McIvor.  I will miss you.

My condolences to all! He made my first night guard for me ! Judy is my sister. Laura Simonson

So sorry to hear of Joe's passing.  Our thoughts are with the family. May he rest in peace

Dear Elaine:   Sincere condolences on your loss.  Your husband was so blessed to have your support during his time at Suncrest.
