    Jim, Sandra, Ralph, Alice, Gerald & Wayne and families. It has been many years since I have been Ike and your neighbour. I recall your Dad joining our baseball game in your yard when we were kids, to even up the skill level of the teams. Your parents and neighbours quickly coming to help save my Dad when he overturned the tractor. It was nice to be able to see Ike last spring. I send my deepest sympathy for your loss. Bob & Sue (Pollock) Wilson

    To all my Nivins cousins,
    Sincere sympathy on the loss of your father, grandfather, great grandfather, brother and uncle.
    The tribute video shows Alec as a man who loved his family, farming and fun. May all those special memories ease your pain in the days ahead.

    I have fond memories of Uncle Ike. When I was a little girl he always asked me how I was. I always said I was pretty good. Uncle Ike would say “You’re pretty and good eh?” and then laugh. I always felt embarrassed by that but now that is one of my fond memories of him. And I remember the whisker rubs he liked to give!
    He will certainly be missed!
    My condolences to all his family.

    Wishing the entire Nivins family peace, comfort, courage and love at this time of sorrow.
    Sandra, you took on one of the biggest challenges in life the past many years caring for your dad. To care for those who once cared for us is one of the highest honors. Your dads sense of humor shone through even in his last hours winking and joking with the nurses and his family. It was my pleasure to know him. His life was a blessing. His memories will always be your treasure.
    Good bye is not forever,
    Good bye is not the end,
    It simply means you love and miss him until you meet again!
